Annual Independent Audits and Reporting Requirements
The FDIC is amending part 363 of its regulations concerning annual independent audits and reporting requirements for certain insured depository institutions, which implements section 36 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (FDI Act), largely as proposed, but with certain modifications made in response to the comments received. The amendments are designed to further the objectives of section 36 by incorporating certain sound audit, reporting, and audit committee practices from the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) into part 363 and they also reflect the FDIC's experience in administering part 363. The amendments will provide clearer and more complete guidance to institutions and independent public accountants concerning compliance with the requirements of section 36 and part 363. As required by section 36, the FDIC has consulted with the other Federal banking agencies. The FDIC is also making a technical amendment to its rules and procedures (part 308, subpart U) for the removal, suspension, or debarment of accountants and accounting firms.
