maintain thorough documentation of ICAAP. Section 43 specifies that 
boards of directors must approve the bank's ICAAP, review it on a 
regular basis, and approve any changes. Boards of directors also are 
required under section 46 to periodically review the assessment of 
overall capital adequacy and to analyze how measures of internal 
capital adequacy compare with other capital measures (such as 
regulatory or accounting).
