Comptroller's Handbook

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency's (OCC) Comptroller's Handbook is prepared for use by OCC examiners in connection with their examination and supervision of national banks, federal savings associations, and federal branches and federal agencies of foreign banking organizations (collectively, banks). Each bank is different and may present specific issues. Accordingly, examiners should apply the information in this booklet consistent with each bank's individual circumstances.
