Report of Assets and Liabilities

of a Foreign (Non-U.S.) Bank

Effective March 2019

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PREPARATION OF

Report of Assets and Liabilities of a Non-U.S.
Branch That is Managed or Controlled by a U.S.
Branch or Agency of a Foreign (Non-U.S.) Bank
FFIEC 002S—Supplement

General Instructions
Who Must Report
The Supplement must be completed by any U.S.
branch or agency of a foreign (non-U.S.) bank that
“manages or controls” a banking branch of its parent
bank that is licensed outside the 50 states of the United
States or the District of Columbia (hereafter referred
to as a “foreign branch”). “Manages or controls”
means that a majority of the responsibility for business
decisions, including but not limited to decisions with
regard to lending or asset management or funding or
liability management, or the responsibility for recordkeeping in respect of assets or liabilities for that foreign
branch resides at the U.S. branch or agency.
Examples of a need to complete the Supplement would
be if: (1) the branch manager for both the U.S. branch
or agency and the foreign branch are the same person
or there is other significant overlap in personnel; or
(2) substantial responsibility for decisions regarding
either assets or liabilities of the foreign branch reside
with staff in the U.S. office; or (3) recordkeeping systems for either assets or liabilities of the foreign branch
are maintained in the U.S. office. The supplement,
however, generally need not be completed in respect of
foreign branches that maintain full-service facilities,
that is, foreign branches that are managed and controlled by staff located at the foreign branch or at locations other than in the United States. Further, the fact
that a foreign branch manager may report to a U.S.
branch manager pursuant to reporting lines established by the foreign bank will not, by itself, necessitate
the completion of the supplement by the U.S. branch.
All U.S. branches and agencies should consider carefully whether the Supplement should be completed. If
there are any questions regarding the need to complete
form FFIEC 002S, the local Reserve Bank should be

contacted. Determinations regarding which U.S.
branches or agencies should complete form
FFIEC 002S will be made by the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System, in consultation with the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for federal
branches and agencies and with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation for insured state-licensed
branches. These determinations will be made with reference to where substantive decisionmaking authority
lies.
A separate Supplement must be completed for each
applicable foreign branch. No consolidation of statements for multiple branches is permitted.
Supplements shall be filed with the U.S. branch or
agency’s FFIEC 002. Please refer to the
FFIEC 002 General Instructions, “Where and When to
Submit the Report.”

Scope Of The Supplement
The Supplement covers all of the foreign branch’s
assets and liabilities, regardless of the currency in
which they are payable. The Supplement also covers
transactions with all entities, both related and nonrelated, regardless of their location.
All due from/due to relationships with related institutions (both depository and nondepository) are to be
reported on a gross basis—i.e., without netting duefrom and due-to items against each other. This reporting treatment of due to/due from transactions with
related institutions parallels the treatment called for in
Schedule M of the FFIEC 002, “Due From/Due to
Related Institutions in the U.S. and in Foreign Countries.” That is, the gross due from and gross due to
items to be reported will include all claims between the
GEN-1

FFIEC 002S

FFIEC 002S

foreign branch and any related institutions (whether
depository or nondepository) arising in connection
with:
(1) Deposits of any kind.
(2) Loans and borrowings of any kind.
(3) Overdrafts, federal funds and repurchase and
resale agreements.
(4) Claims resulting from clearing activities, foreign
exchange transactions, bankers acceptance transactions, and other activities.
(5) Capital flows and contributions.
(6) Gross unremitted profits and any accounting or
regulatory allocation entered on the books of the
reporting foreign branch that ultimately affect
unremitted profits such as statutory or regulatory
capital requirements, reserve accounts, and allowance for possible loan losses or, for institutions
that have adopted ASU 2016-13, allowances for
credit losses.
(7) Any other transactions or entries resulting in
claims between the reporting foreign branch and
its head office and other related institutions.

Report Date
Reports are to be prepared as of the close of business
on the last calendar day of the quarter (March, June,
September, and December).

How To Report
Accounting Basis
The report may be prepared on either an accrual or a
cash basis of accounting. The accounting basis used
for an individual foreign branch should be consistent
from quarter to quarter.

Currency Translation
For some line items, the report distinguishes between
transactions denominated in U.S. dollars and transactions denominated in other currencies. However, all
items shall be reported in U.S. dollars. Transactions or
balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S.

dollar shall be converted to U.S. dollar equivalents
prior to their incorporation in the report.
If an asset or liability may be paid optionally in either
U.S. dollars or in another currency, report that transaction as denominated in U.S. dollars.

Rounding
See the entry for “Rounding” in the General Instructions for preparation of the FFIEC 002.

Negative Entries
Negative entries are not permitted for any item.

Total Assets Must Equal Total Liabilities
In order to report on this form, exchange rates are used
to convert non-U.S. currency values into equivalent
U.S. dollar values. Changes in those exchange rates
may create unrealized gains or unrealized losses. If
such a gain or loss is not reflected in, for example, an
equity or unremitted profit account on the foreign
branch’s own books, there will be a discrepancy
between total assets and total liabilities on this report
unless an adjustment is made. In such cases, the foreign
branch’s liabilities to its parent bank, which would be
included in item 11(a), should be increased to reflect
unrealized gains and should be reduced to reflect unrealized losses.

General Definitions
Related and Nonrelated Institutions
In certain line items, the Supplement distinguishes
between transactions of the reporting foreign branch
with related and nonrelated depository institutions. For
purposes of the Supplement, the definition of related
depository institution corresponds to that used for the
FFIEC 002 itself. Please refer to the entry for “Related
Institutions” in the Glossary section of the
FFIEC 002 instructions and to the reporting instructions for Schedule M of that report.

U.S. and Non-U.S. Addressees (Domicile)
The Supplement also distinguishes between transactions of the reporting foreign branch with U.S.
addressees and non-U.S. addressees.

GEN-2
March 2019

FFIEC 002S

FFIEC 002S

For related institutions (whether depository or nondepository), the definitions of U.S. and non-U.S.
addressees (domicile) correspond to those used for
Schedule M of the FFIEC 002. That is, U.S. addressees
encompasses offices domiciled in the 50 states of the
United States and the District of Columbia. Non-U.S.
addressees encompasses offices domiciled in a foreign
country, in Puerto Rico, or in a U.S. territory or possession. For additional information, see the detailed
instructions for preparation of Schedule M.
For nonrelated parties, the definitions of U.S. and nonU.S. addressees correspond to those used in the
FFIEC 002 for determining the domicile of customers
of the respondent. That is, U.S. addressees encompasses residents of the 50 states of the United States,
the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and possessions. Non-U.S. addressees encompasses residents of any foreign country. For additional
information, see the entry for “Domicile” in the Glossary section of the FFIEC 002 instructions.
Transactions with International Banking Facilities
(IBFs), whether related or nonrelated, are regarded as
transactions with U.S. addressees.

Maturities
Several items call for a maturity breakdown between
those transactions with maturities of one day or under
continuing contract (“overnight”) and those transactions with all other maturities (“term”).
One-day transactions are those that are (1) made on
one business day and maturing on the next business
day, (2) made on Friday to mature on Monday, or
(3) made on the last business day prior to a holiday (for
either or both parties to the transaction) that mature
on the first business day after the holiday.
A continuing contract is a contract or agreement that
remains in effect for more than one business day but
has no specified maturity and that does not require
advance notice of either party to terminate. Such contracts may also be known as rollovers or as open-end
agreements.
All other maturities. This maturity category encompasses transactions maturing in more than one business day that are not under continuing contract.

Item Instructions
Both the assets and liabilities sections of the Supplement call for detail by location and type of the other
party to the transaction and by whether the transaction is denominated in U.S. or non-U.S. currency.
In addition, for claims on U.S. addressees (other than
related depository institutions) denominated in U.S.
dollars, detail on type of claim is required. In general,
the definitions of the specific types of claims (i.e., portfolio items) called for, and their reporting treatment,
correspond to the FFIEC 002 definitions of those
items. As appropriate, references to specific
FFIEC 002 line items are provided.

Assets
Item 1 Claims on U.S.-domiciled offices of related
depository institutions denominated in U.S. dollars.
Report, on a gross basis, all claims on U.S.-domiciled
offices of related depository institutions (including
their IBFs), as defined for Schedule M, Column A,
items 1(a) and 1(b), that are denominated in U.S. dollars. Please refer to the instructions for Schedule M and
to the entries in the General Definitions section of this
Supplement for “Related and Nonrelated Institutions”
and “U.S. and Non-U.S. Addressees.” As noted, U.S.domiciled offices of related depository institutions are
those offices located in the 50 states of the U.S. and the
District of Columbia.
Item 2 Claims on all other U.S. addressees (including
related nondepository institutions) denominated in U.S.
dollars.
As noted in the General Definitions section above, for
related nondepository institutions, “U.S. addressees”
encompasses institutions domiciled in the 50 states of
the United States and the District of Columbia. For all
nonrelated entities (both depository and nondepository), “U.S. addressees” encompasses residents of the
50 states of the United States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories and possessions.
Item 2(a) Balances due from nonrelated depository
institutions in the U.S.
Report by remaining maturity in the appropriate category below all balances due from non-related depository institutions domiciled in the U.S., as defined for
