FDIC Issues 76 Enforcement Actions In April Against Problem Banks

The FDIC issued 76 enforcements actions in April against individuals and problem banks, down slightly from 87 in March.  Included in the enforcement actions were 8 removal and prohibition orders, 4 prompt corrective actions, 21 consent orders, 21 civil money penalties, 1 modification order and 20 orders terminating consent orders or prompt correction directives and 1 adjudicated decision.

Regulators use enforcement actions when regulators have doubts about the ability of an institution to implement required corrective action or to address serious operating and financial deficiencies.  The FDIC is required to close critically undercapitalized institutions within 90 days.

A consent order is the term used when a financial institution accepts a Cease and Desist Order.  Typically, regulators will issue a Cease and Desist Order when they have “determined that it had reason to believe that the Bank engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law and/or regulations.”

After a bank “consents” to a regulatory action, it will execute a “Stipulation to the Issuance of a Consent Order”.  A bank that agrees to regulatory actions through a consent agreement are allowed to accept regulatory findings and orders “without admitting or denying any charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices or violations of law or regulations relating to weaknesses in asset quality, capital adequacy, earnings, management effectiveness, liquidity, and sensitivity to market risk”.

A prompt corrective action (PCA) is much more serious than a consent order and is a “formal action that requires an institution to take one or more specified actions to return to minimum capital standards”.  A large percentage of banks receiving PCAs are unable to comply with regulatory orders and wind up as failed banks.

The recently released FDIC Quarterly Banking Profile for March 31, 2011, shows a total of 888 banks on the confidential Problem Bank List, up from 884 at year end.  Of the 7,575 FDIC insured institutions at March 31, 2011, 11.7% are on the Problem Bank List.
