The Interagency Statement is a policy
statement providing guidance on internal controls and procedures
for large firms that conduct a business in complex structured
finance transactions. This Interagency Statement is unlikely to
have any application to any small businesses. We expect it to
provide guidance to only 5 large broker-dealer registrants in
addition to the commercial banking entities overseen by the other
financial services regulators. The other agencies that issued the
Interagency Statement are the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency ("OCC"), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System ("Fed"), Office of Thrift Supervion ("OTS") and Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC").
