Supervisory Policy and Guidance Topics
Corporate Compliance
Organizations supervised by the Federal Reserve, regardless of size and complexity, should have effective compliance risk management programs that are appropriately tailored to the organizations’ risk profiles. The implementation and oversight of compliance risk management programs can vary considerably depending upon the scope and complexity of the organization’s activities, the geographic reach of the organization, and other inherent risk factors. Larger, more complex banking organizations tend to conduct a wide range of business activities that are subject to rigorous compliance requirements that frequently transcend business lines and legal entities and, accordingly, present risk management and corporate governance challenges.
