12 U.S.C. § 5326: Reports

Summary

The Financial Stability Oversight Council, through the Office of Financial Research, can require very large bank holding companies (those with total consolidated assets of $250,000,000,000 or more), nonbank financial companies supervised by the Board of Governors, and their subsidiaries, to send certified reports. The reports must tell the Council about the company’s money situation, how it watches and controls risks, any dealings with a subsidiary that is a bank, and how the company’s actions could, in bad times, disturb markets or U.S. financial stability. When possible, the Council must use reports the company already gives to federal, state, or foreign regulators, information the company must make public, and audited financial statements. Companies must give copies of those reports when the Council asks. The Council must keep these reports confidential.
