The Coalition of Bankers Associations has released the first Bank Exam Monitor, Insights on Recent Examinations report created by its Regulatory Feedback Initiative strategic partners at FinPro.

"Regulatory examinations continue to be tilted toward liquidity risk with stress testing, interest rate risk with a flattening yield curve, asset quality concerns in a highly competitive environment, and corporate governance," said Scott Polakoff, executive vice president, FinPro. "The examiners persist in their apprehension with the length of this economic expansion and the possibility of a downturn over the next 12 to 24 months.  Strategic planning remains the roadmap to planned performance, and the examiners expect to see quarterly assessments of actual to budget results documented in Board of Director minutes."

The report highlights trends seen from data collected anonymously via post exam surveys from banks across America.  The analysis, which will be updated quarterly, is intended to help banks prepare for upcoming exams. Read the report.
