Examiners write comments and analyses for inclusion in reports of examination and meet with insured depository institution officials, including the board of directors, to discuss the finding of an examination and, if necessary, to institute any corrective programs. Most positions require a degree in business, finance, accounting or a related field with at least 6 semester hours in accounting.
Compliance Examiners
Examiners are responsible for conducting, supervising or directing compliance fair lending and Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) examinations, investigations and other activities related to consumer protection, civil rights laws and regulations, and other related enforcement responsibilities. Specific duties range from serving as FDIC office representative and directing the work of others to conducting exams and preparing reports and analyses. Most positions require at least a degree in business, finance, accounting or a related field.
Economists
Economists conduct and publish empirical and theoretical economic research on topics relevant to the condition of the banking industry, bank regulation and deposit insurance.

They also develop statistical and financial models to support FDIC operations in such areas as finance, deposit insurance, bank safety and soundness, bank supervision, bank failure resolution, and consumer protection.
