Andy and MB did a good summary back in 2001, so it is a litlle dated and may need some additions, but if you do a search on regulatory + penalties, it will be there.

FINALLY ABOVE the gnat line
Joker, I put together a penalty list when they increased CMPs due to inflation. It may not be complete, but it's close. I'll e-mail it to your bank address. (don't know how to do attachments on this)

Believe me, it is nice, for once, to be a contributor of info instead of always being the taker!

I am also going to post this to the Lending Forum.

Sorry to raise this thread from the dead, but the links don't work anymore. I also can't pull up the June 2001 thread via the search feature.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

PATTERNS OR PRACTICE
Informal definition of "pattern" or "practice" taken from a September 7, 1982 OCC letter to a Maryland banker:
A "pattern or practice" has a common cause and occurs consistently.
"Practice" does not necessarily mean a written or unwritten bank policy. It may mean the practice of one or more bank employees with or without bank approval. At the same time, a "pattern" is not determined by the number of violations, but rather relates to the regularity with which a violation occurs. Violations that occur randomly and can not be traced to a common cause would not represent a pattern or practice of violations.
Note: This was a handout at the American Bankers Association's National Regulatory Compliance Conference June 27 - 30, 1993. Obviously, changes have taken place since that time.

This was posted to BOL a long time ago. I don't remember if there was a reference attributed to it.

I created a Word file with the data on 6-24-03, so if you did a search from 2001 to June of 2003, you might find the original post to see if there was an author.
