The Federal Reserve Board (FRB) and Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) have announced their latest enforcement actions.

At iKinetiq, we analyze regulatory enforcement actions using our Third-Party, Operational, and Compliance (TPOC) Risk Framework™, a proprietary model that assigns a TPOC Risk Rating (Low, Medium, High, or Very High) based on regulatory severity. This framework helps clients track enforcement trends, assess their own risk posture, and take proactive steps to avoid similar penalties.

iKinetiq RegWatch - OCC Enforcement Actions in January

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 13:00:00 +0000

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has announced its enforcement actions issued in January. The OCC uses enforcement actions to require the institutions it supervises to take timely actions to correct the deficient practices or violations identified.

Here at iKinetiq, we are dedicated to helping you understand the impact of the OCC's enforcement actions. We have developed the Third-Party, Operational and Compliance (TPOC) Risk Framework* to calculate the TPOC Risk Rating for each enforcement action based on our proprietary methodology. The TPOC Risk Rating consists of four risk levels: Low (green), Medium (yellow), High (orange) and Very High (red). Our TPOC Risk Framework also offers an array of tools that help our clients stay abreast of regulatory actions, assess their own regulatory risk programs, proactively correct deficiencies, and avoid similar enforcement actions and fines.

As the financial services industry navigates a new presidential term, many are watching for potential shifts in regulatory enforcement activities by the OCC, Federal Reserve, and FDIC. How did enforcement actions and fines differ under the first Trump administration versus the Biden administration—and what can banks expect going forward?

Our latest analysis uncovers some unexpected trends. While conventional wisdom might suggest lighter enforcement under Trump, the data shows a more complex picture. The OCC and Federal Reserve took fewer enforcement actions and issued smaller fines under Biden, while the FDIC followed a different pattern with fewer actions and lower fines under Trump.
