Short Statement: In order to strengthen the corporate governance and risk management practices of large institutions, the FDIC is proposing to issue corporate governance and risk management guidelines (Guidelines) as a new Appendix C to part 364 to address corporate governance and risk management practices and board oversight. The proposed Guidelines would apply to all covered institutions. The proposed Guidelines would apply in addition to any other requirements established by law or regulation. The FDIC’s supervisory experience has shown that institutions with assets greater than $10 billion are larger, more complex and present a higher risk profile. The proposed Guidelines are intended to raise the FDIC’s standards for corporate governance, risk management, and control to help ensure these larger institutions effectively anticipate, evaluate, and mitigate the risks they face.
