Organization; Definitions; Disclosure to Shareholders; Accounting and Reporting Requirements; Regulatory Accounting Practices; Title IV Conservators, Receivers, and Voluntary Liquidations; and Disclosure to Investors in System-Wide and Consolidated Bank Debt Obligations of the Farm Credit System
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA, we, or our) is proposing to amend our disclosure and reporting regulations for Farm Credit System (System) institutions by clarifying and enhancing existing disclosures and reporting to System shareholders and investors. The rule would provide ``real time'' disclosures to shareholders, investors, and the public by accelerating the time period for filing annual and quarterly reports. The Federal Farm Credit Banks Funding Corporation (Funding Corporation) would have to adopt policies and procedures for issuing interim reports, improving the timely and accurate distribution of System-wide financial information. The proposed rule would also enhance financial accuracy certifications in periodic reports for all System institutions, requiring the Funding Corporation and larger System institutions (with over $500 million in assets) to review and report on internal controls. Further, the proposed rule would create a regulatory section on the independence of external auditors, adding restrictions on non-audit services and conflicts of interest, as well as requiring auditor rotation.
