Our community bank <200 Million, has a safety and soundness audit next week. Does anyone have a link for an examiners guideline or regulations on this type of audit? I'm new to banking and this is for my own use/education. Thank you.

It depends on who your regulator is, of course, but here's a link to the OCC's handbook on safety and soundness.

There are other examination procedures they could use during and S&S as well, but this is the bulk of them.

Thanks for the link. I also found the FDIC version. Looks like a real load of fun. But thats part of the business. Thanks

Also, never forget that this is an examination not an audit. I always clarify with my peers that there is a BIG difference between an examiner and auditor!

If it's an option, I'd strongly suggest reading the report from the previous examination. Examiners will be sure to follow up on any corrective action suggested.

I agree, read the prior exam report and make sure that all items have been addressed. Examiners don't like it when reports are ignored.

We just found out our's is scheduled for January 23rd. I would look hard at their request letter as well as prior exam reports. Our appears to be heavy on BSA and IT, and business continuity.
