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

    • National banks,
    • Federal branches and agencies of foreign banks,
    • Institution-affiliated parties (IAPs), including:

    a.      Officers, directors, and employees,

    b.      A bank's controlling stockholders, agents, and certain other individuals.

     

    Generally, the OCC may take formal enforcement actions against the above entities for violations of laws, rules or regulations, unsafe or unsound practices, violations of final orders, violations of conditions imposed in writing, and for IAP's breaches of fiduciary duty.

     

    All formal enforcement actions, except formal agreements, entered into subsequent to August 8, 1989, have been public in accordance with the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989. Formal agreements entered into subsequent to November 29, 1990, have been public in accordance with the Crime Control Act of 1990. In addition, securities enforcement actions before and after August 8, 1989, are publicly available.
