The The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) InfoBase was established by the Congress in 1979 to prescribe uniform principles, standards, and report forms for the federal examination of financial institutions, to make recommendations to promote uniformity in the supervision of financial institutions, and to conduct schools for examiners. The Council has six voting members: the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a Governor of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (FRB), the Director of the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS), the Chairman of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), and the Chairman of the State Liaison Committee. Visit the Council's website for press releases and information on the mission and work of the Council at http://www.ffiec.gov.
