The Call Report tells a story about the operations and complexity of the bank. There are countless disclosures that also appear in a bank’s financial statements and are validated as part of the audit process. This session will provide insights so that you are prepared for your next audit and examination.

With heightened examiner focus on call reporting and with bank resources strained to the limit, this session will help Call Report preparers and reviewers focus on efficiency, accuracy, and proper documentation when auditing their quarterly Call Reports. Best practices for the audit and review process will be discussed, along with regulatory expectations for the call reporting process.

Session highlights will include ideas for finding common errors, ensuring consistency between Call Report schedules, properly documenting the preparation and review function, and utilizing the internal audit function to verify Call Report accuracy.
