The FDIC Enforcement Decisions and Orders (ED&O) contains the full text of the formal enforcement actions against financial institutions that are regulated by the FDIC or against their affiliated parties, including final orders and notices of changes. The ED&O is updated on a monthly basis.

What's New - Recent Orders & Decisions for the latest monthly update.

Note to ED&O Users
We periodically revise the format and content of the ED&O to facilitate ease of use and to take advantage of improvements in technology. In October 2006 we discontinued replicating the remaining vestiges of the ED&O’s origin as a printed loose-leaf service:

• The book-based indices were eliminated in favor of a full text search engine.
  
• References to page and paragraph numbers are no longer carried forward.
  
• The enforcement decisions and orders are now presented as PDFs to preserve the native format.

We trust that these changes will meet with your approval. If you have comments or suggestions, please contact us at regs@fdic.gov.

Enforcement Actions
The FDIC supervises the following entities and has the statutory authority to take enforcement actions against them:

• FDIC-insured state chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System
• FDIC-insured branches of foreign banks
• Officers, directors, employees, controlling shareholders, agents and certain other categories of individuals (institution-affiliated parties) associated with such institutions

Generally, the FDIC pursues enforcement actions against the above entities for violations of laws, rules, or regulations, unsafe or unsound banking practices, breaches of fiduciary duty, and violations of final orders, conditions imposed in writing or written agreements. In addition, the FDIC has the statutory authority to terminate the deposit insurance of any insured depository institution for violation of a law, rule, regulation, condition imposed in writing, or written agreement, or for being in an unsafe or unsound condition or engaging in unsafe or unsound banking practices.

Press Releases
Enforcement orders and notices are announced to the public in a monthly press release listing all final enforcement orders and notices of changes issued by the FDIC during the previous month and administrative hearings scheduled for the next month. Printed copies of the enforcement orders are available in the Public Information Center, 3501 North Fairfax Drive, Room E-1002, Arlington, VA 22226, telephone (703) 562-2200 or (877) ASK-FDIC, at the time the press release is issued.
