Abstract: Onsite examinations help ensure the stability of insured depository institutions by identifying undue risks and weak risk management practices. Examination activities center on evaluating an institution’s capital, assets, management, earnings, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk. Evaluating a bank’s adherence to laws and regulations is also an important part of bank examinations and is given high priority by Congress and bank supervisors. Bank examinations also play a key role in the supervisory process by helping the FDIC identify the cause and severity of problems at individual banks and emerging risks in the financial-services industry. The accurate identification of existing and emerging risks helps the FDIC develop effective corrective measures for individual institutions and broader supervisory strategies for the industry. The purpose of the post- examination surveys is to gauge bankers’ views on the effectiveness and quality of FDIC Safety and Soundness and Consumer Compliance examinations, as well as to identify ways to improve the examination process. Respondents will be asked to voluntarily rate the efficiency of the pre-examination process; examiners’ professionalism and understanding of the laws and regulations; the examination process; and examination report quality. Respondents will also be allowed to provide feedback on any areas for improvement and will be given an option to have someone from the FDIC’s Office of the Ombudsman contact the institution confidentially about its recent examination or any other matters.
