The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency today released its annual update to the Bank Accounting Advisory Series. The BAAS contains staff responses to frequently asked questions from the banking industry and bank examiners on a variety of accounting topics. It is designed to promote consistent application of accounting standards and regulatory reporting among national banks and federal savings associations.
This year’s edition of the BAAS revises certain content for general clarity and also removes superseded content. The updates do not alter the OCC Office of the Chief Accountant’s prior conclusions or interpretations.
