Abstract: The Foreign Branch Report of Condition (FFIEC 030) and the Abbreviated Foreign Branch Report of Condition (FFIEC 030S) are required by statute. Pursuant to 12 U.S.C. 602, every national bank operating a foreign branch, other than a national bank operating only exempt foreign branches, must file the applicable report. The OCC, FDIC and FRB (the agencies) need this information to monitor U.S. bank activity at overseas locations and funds flow worldwide. The agencies also need this information for planning foreign branch examinations. The Foreign Branch Report of Condition is the only report with balance sheet and contingent liability data collected by the agencies from foreign branches. The data collected are used by the agencies to monitor banking activity at overseas locations. On an aggregate basis, the agencies use the data to monitor U.S. bank activity in the Eurocurrency markets and in tracking funds flow worldwide. Data on specific branches or branches within a specific country or region are used in planning examinations. The scope of the FFIEC 030S is comparable to a report filed with the Federal Reserve by U.S. banking organizations for their foreign subsidiaries. The items for this report are considered the minimum information needed to serve as indicators of higher business volume, risk, and complexity in small-sized foreign branches. The reported information is also used to monitor potential developments that may pose risks to the overall operations of the parent bank.
