52-572: DINBs are chartered by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency . Upon creation, the bank assumes the failed bank's insured deposits and temporarily provides banking services to customers.

156-471: A behavior will decrease the violations both by the wrongdoer (specific deterrence) and by others (general deterrence). This view has been supported by economic theory , which has framed punishment in terms of costs and has explained compliance in terms of a cost-benefit equilibrium (Becker 1968). However, psychological research on motivation provides an alternative view: granting rewards (Deci, Koestner and Ryan, 1999) or imposing fines (Gneezy Rustichini 2000) for

208-459: A certain behavior is a form of extrinsic motivation that weakens intrinsic motivation and ultimately undermines compliance.

Under this original deposit insurance system, the FDIC assumed receivership of nine insured banks and paid off their deposits through DINBs. After

Some local or international specialized organizations such as

416-482: A separate store for meeting reporting requirements. Compliance software is increasingly being implemented to help companies manage their compliance data more efficiently. This store may include calculations, data transfers, and audit trails.

936-671: The Federal Reserve Act established a central bank , the Federal Reserve , to issue American currency. The OCC's role shifted to bank examination and regulation, though it retained "currency" as part of its name.

1040-590: The United States Supreme Court validated the preemption of state regulations by the OCC, ruling that the OCC, not the states, has the authority to subject national banks to "general supervision" and "oversight": State regulators cannot interfere with the business of banking by subjecting national banks or their OCC-licensed operating subsidiaries to multiple audits and surveillance under rival oversight regimes. In Cuomo v. Clearing House Association, L. L. C. 557 U.S. 519 (2009),

1092-479: The food and beverage industry , and the Joint Commission and HIPAA in healthcare. In some cases other compliance frameworks (such as COBIT ) or even standards ( NIST ) inform on how to comply with regulations.

1248-506: The Court clarified its decision in Watters , stating that federal banking regulations did not preempt the ability of states to enforce their own fair-lending laws, as " 'general supervision and control' and 'oversight' are worlds apart from law enforcement", and therefore states retain law enforcement powers but have restricted "visitorial" powers over national banks (i.e., the right to examine

The potential for inconsistent application of AML regulations across different jurisdictions can create regulatory arbitrage and undermine

1976-628: The effectiveness of AML efforts. Additionally, a lack of clear and consistent legal frameworks defining the roles and responsibilities of EU and national authorities in AML enforcement can lead to situations where accountability is difficult to establish.
