Standardized Data Elements for Use with Automated Tools

In an effort to streamline the examination process, the Federal Reserve System and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation have developed several automated examination tools for use in consumer compliance and CRA examinations. The tools rely on the voluntary submission of electronic data and will enable examiners and supervisory staff to perform analytic tasks faster and more accurately. A letter from the agencies outlining the program is enclosed for your information.

As part of our preparation for each examination, we will be discussing with you how these automated processes can best facilitate a more efficient and effective examination.
