FFIEC Report Copies

The requirement that banks submit two copies of the FFIEC call report has been eliminated. Please keep a copy of the FFIEC report in a file at the bank, together with a signed, executed certification form. This file must be available upon request to examiners during the course of a bank examination. Banks making revisions to the FFIEC call report must continue to send revisions to this office, as well as filing a copy of the revisions in the call report file at the bank. Please send revisions to Patrick Carroll, Strategic Support Manager, Department of Financial Institutions, 111 Pine Street, #1100 San Francisco, CA 94111. Revisions may also be sent in PDF format to callreport@dfi.ca.gov.
