OTS Issues New Examination Procedures on Identity Theft Red Flags and Address Discrepancies
October 27, 2008
The Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) issued examination procedures today on identity theft and address discrepancies.

OTS examiners will use these procedures, developed jointly with the other federal banking agencies, during examinations of OTS-supervised financial institutions beginning November 1, 2008, when the underlying identity theft rules and guidelines take effect.

The revised examination procedures follow a joint rulemaking in November 2007 by the OTS, the other federal banking agencies and the Federal Trade Commission on identity theft "red flags" and address discrepancies. To help savings associations prepare for complying with the new rules, the OTS held an industry conference call in August 2008.
