OCC releases enforcement actions for May 2024
On May 23, the OCC released a list of recent enforcement actions against national banks, federal savings associations, and individuals affiliated with such entities (defined as institution-affiliated parties, or IAPs). The actions against two individual banks include two formal agreements in which the OCC alleged that the banks engaged in unsafe or unsound practices related to risk governance and internal controls for one bank; and capital planning, strategic and succession planning, and liquidity risk management for the other bank. The announcement also included five enforcement actions against IAPs to “deter, encourage correction of, or prevent violations, unsafe or unsound practices, or breaches of fiduciary duty.” Specifically, the announcement included four prohibition orders and one notice of charges against IAPs, mainly individuals, for criminal activity.
