Abstract: Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act) requires the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (CFPB), and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) (the agencies) each to establish an Office of Minority and Women Inclusion (OMWI) to be responsible for all matters of the agency relating to diversity in management, employment, and business activities. Section 342 requires each OMWI director to develop standards for “assessing the diversity policies and practices of entities regulated by the agency.” The Policy Statement, published jointly by the agencies in June 2015, contain those standards. The Policy Statement includes Joint Standards that cover “Practices to Promote Transparency of Organizational Diversity and Inclusion.” These Joint Standards expect a regulated entity to be transparent about its diversity and inclusion activities by making certain information available to the public annually on its websites or through other appropriate communications methods, in a manner reflective of the entity’s size and other characteristics. In addition, the Policy Statement includes Joint Standards that address “Entities’ Self-Assessment” and that a regulated entity, in a manner reflective of its size and other characteristics, is encouraged to publish information pertaining to its efforts with respect to the Joint Standards.
