Bank examiners at the Federal Reserve Board will no longer assess reputational risk during examinations, a concession to the banking industry already underway with two other U.S. regulators.

The Fed announced the change Monday, saying that references to reputational risk will be removed from all supervisory materials, including examination manuals. References to reputational risk will be replaced, the Fed said, with “more specific discussions of financial risk.”
