The objective of this program is to promote the integrity and stability of state-licensed banks and trust companies through the regulation and supervision of these institutions. Program activities include periodic examinations to ensure that business is conducted in a safe and sound manner, and investigations of new bank and trust company applications and other required applicants. Statute requires examinations of state-licensed banks to be conducted at least once every 12 months; however, every other examination may be conducted by the appropriate federal regulator. Examinations of state-licensed trust companies must be conducted no less frequently than once every 24 months.
