CSBS Applauds Continued Congressional Oversight of Critically Flawed FDIC Corporate Governance Proposal

Washington, D.C. – Conference of State Bank Supervisors (CSBS) President and CEO Brandon Milhorn issued the following statement in response to a Senate letter sent to the FDIC today:  

“As the administrative record makes clear, the FDIC’s corporate governance proposal is ill-conceived and must be withdrawn.  

Banks should have strong corporate governance standards to help ensure risk is appropriately managed. The FDIC’s rule, however, would impose a one-size-fits-all mandate on institutions that would intrude on over a century of state fiduciary laws and confuse the role of board and management. 

We appreciate continued oversight by Congress of this critically flawed FDIC proposal.”
