Bridgeforce Law Bulletin Highlights Heightened Expectations for Bank Boards of Directors
Chadds Ford, PA (PRWEB) June 28, 2016 -- Bridgeforce Law’s bulletin titled, The OCC’s Standard for Bank Directors: Heightened Expectations Extend Beyond Large Banks, is an overview of important regulatory guidelines for bank Boards of Directors. The opportunity to serve as a Bank Director is an honor that comes with great responsibility and accountability.
The bulletin outlines the detail from the OCC’s Guidelines Establishing Heightened Standards for Certain Large Insured National Banks, Insured Federal Savings Associations, and Insured Federal Branches (the Guidelines). Also included in the bulletin are additional regulatory elements that Bank Directors should consider. The core expectation, as outlined by the Guidelines, is that the Board should have the information, experience, business acumen and willingness to question and address any actions taken by management.
According to the bulletin, the keys to each Director’s success in this ever-changing environment are the following:
1. Keen awareness of the nature and direction of the applicable risks; and
2. Knowledge and effective use of all available resources, including third-party providers.
