“Matters Requiring Board Attention” Underscore Evolving Risks in Banking
The Matters Requiring Board Attention (MRBA) page within the Risk Management Report of Examination is used to focus the attention of bank management and the directorate on potential problems that, if addressed early, will reduce the likelihood that those institutions will experience serious adverse effects. As a means of communicating to bankers what FDIC examiners are observing in the field, this article summarizes the types of issues identified in risk management examinations as reflected by MRBAs from 2011 through 2015, focusing primarily on activities recorded in the last two years.
