FHFA Finalizes Unified Exams for Fannie, Freddie, FHLBanks
November 30, 2012
The Federal Housing Finance Agency will employ a new, more comprehensive examination rating system which would be used to inspect Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, the Federal Home Loan Banks and the Banks Office of Finance under a final rule issued earlier this month. The new system, published in the Nov. 13 Federal Register, will implement a single risk-focused examination system for all three entities that would be similar to the CAMELS ratings used by federal prudential regulators for depository institutions.
