Join us for this focused 90‑minute webinar that delivers practical insights into the close relationship between Call Reporting and the Report of Examination (ROE).
This session explores how information reported in the Call Report often surfaces in regulatory exams—and why inconsistencies frequently lead to examiner findings. We’ll review common exam issues, explain why they occur, and share effective strategies for resolving them. Participants will gain practical tips to help prevent exam comments, respond efficiently when issues arise, and properly document the bank’s corrective actions and timely responses.

Regulatory agencies (FDIC, Federal Reserve, and OCC) use Call Report data for ongoing supervision, risk assessment, and financial analysis. This data is a primary source for evaluating an institution's financial condition, performance, and risk profile. Even though regulatory exam frequencies seem to be lessening, the emphasis on robust regulatory reporting is increased.
Especially when examiners have less time in the Bank, we expect them to focus more on the financial institution’s own risk management process around accurate reporting. Lack of accuracy casts a shadow over management and CAMELs ratings. The examination and review of a bank often results in comments regarding the Call Report. Lately, examiner scrutiny is focused on accurate regulatory reporting as it is impacted by granular schedule items such as loan classification, allowances, liquidity reporting and other re-classifications that trickle down to the Call Report.
