The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Thursday released additional stress testing guidance for community banks with assets of $10 billion or less as they assess risk in their loan portfolios.

The guidance is contained in OCC Bulletin 2012-33, โ€œCommunity Bank Stress Testing: Supervisory Guidance.โ€ It provides additional clarity around the expectations for community banks and provides an example of a simple stress test framework to consider.
