Reflecting the many statutory and regulatory changes made since the beginning of the recent economic downturn, the newly published Financial Institutions Answer Book 2013 provides, in a handy Q&A format, a comprehensive overview of the complex federal requirements regulating financial institutions in the United States. Every aspect of a financial institution’s life cycle is covered, from understanding the differences in regulation based on what type of charter is chosen, through ongoing capital and deposit activities requirements and major changes in corporate control, to the cessation of entity activity through merger, acquisition or entity failure.
Financial Institutions Answer Book 2013 covers the entire spectrum of financial institution regulation, including:
- Regulating the creation of branch offices
- Corporate governance
- Executive compensation
- Deposit insurance requirements
- Insider and affiliate transactions
