The interagency guidance outlines
high-level principles for stress testing practices applicable to
all Federal Reserve-supervised, FDIC-supervised, and OCC-supervised
banking organizations (the agencies) with more than $10 billion in
total consolidated assets. In developing a stress testing framework
and in carrying out stress tests, banking organizations should
understand and clearly document all assumptions, uncertainties, and
limitations, and provide that information to users of the stress
testing results. To ensure proper governance over the stress
testing framework, banking organizations should develop and
maintain written policies and procedures.
