FDIC Virtual 101: An Introduction to Deposit Insurance, Bank Supervision, and Resolutions

FDIC is soliciting applications for the 2021 sessions of FDIC Virtual 101: An Introduction to Deposit Insurance, Bank Supervision, and Resolutions.

• A four-day virtual program designed to provide participants with an overview of the governing policies and procedures used by the FDIC to support its mandates.
• June 14 through June 17, 2021 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM (EST)

The deadline to apply is April 15, 2021.

FDIC Virtual 101 is a four day program designed to provide a high-level overview of the FDIC’s policies and operations in a format tailored for an international audience. During the program, senior FDIC experts will:

• Describe the FDIC’s bank supervision activities and authority.
• Explain how the FDIC manages the Deposit Insurance Fund.
• Describe how the FDIC resolves failed banks and its role in resolution planning for systemically important financial institutions.

FDIC Virtual 101 does not intend to teach international best practices in deposit insurance, bank supervision, or resolutions; FDIC experts will only present the FDIC’s approach to these issues.
