This CLE course will examine recent changes to the Office of the Comptroller Currency’s (OCC) policies and procedures regarding bank enforcement actions and related matters as set forth in OCC Bulletin 2017-48 (Bulletin). The panel will discuss how the new procedural and substantive changes in the OCC’s enforcement regime will impact banks of varying sizes and risk profiles.
