The Federal Reserve’s supervisory program focuses on the enterprise-wide risk profile and risk management of those companies, with particular focus on financial strength, corporate governance, and riskmanagement practices and competencies of the company as a whole.
To this end, we monitor the largest of these institutions on a continuous basis and routinely conduct inspections and examinations of all of these firms to encourage their safe and sound operation. The Federal Reserve has no direct role in the supervision of the commodities markets generally.
