Through regular on-site examinations and contact with state nonmember institutions, FDIC staff regularly talk with banks to ensure that their policies to manage credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest-rate risk are effective. Where appropriate, FDIC staff work with institutions that have significant exposure to these risks and encourage them to take appropriate risk-mitigating steps. Learn more about the policies and guidelines used to examine banks, examination performance metrics, and resources for examiners and bankers.
For further questions about examination policies and processes, please contact Supervision@fdic.gov.

*Formal Enforcement Action total include five terminated enforcement actions.
Formal AML/CFT enforcement actions are orders issued by the FDIC against insured financial institutions and individual respondents. The FDIC issues formal actions, such as Consent Orders, pursuant to Section 8 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. Formal actions are legally enforceable and available to the public after issuance. Informal AML/CFT enforcement actions, such as a Memorandum of Understanding, are voluntary commitments made by an insured financial institution's board of directors with the FDIC. Informal actions are not legally enforceable and are not available to the public. Civil money penalties are assessed not only to punish the violator to the degree of culpability and severity of the violation, but also to deter future violations. Although relevant to the FDIC’s interests, the primary purpose for utilizing civil money penalties is not to effect remedial action.
