Through regular on-site examinations and contact with state nonmember institutions, FDIC staff regularly talk with banks to ensure that their policies to manage credit risk, liquidity risk, and interest-rate risk are effective. Where appropriate, FDIC staff work with institutions that have significant exposure to these risks and encourage them to take appropriate risk-mitigating steps. Learn more about the policies and guidelines used to examine banks, examination performance metrics, and resources for examiners and bankers.
