The FDIC issued a list of state non-member banks which were evaluated for compliance with the Community Reinvestment Act. The list relates to evaluation ratings that the FDIC assigned to institutions in October 2014. All of the banks rated received either satisfactory or outstanding ratings. The CRA was instituted in 1977 in order to encourage insured banks and thrifts to meet local credit needs, including those of low-income neighborhoods. Included in the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989, Congress mandated that the public disclosure of the results of each bank and thrift that undergoes a CRA examination.

The SEC introduced a pilot program intended to simplify investor analysis and comparisons of public company financial statement data. The new program will organize data provided by companies into structured data sets which can be used for bulk downloads on the SEC’s website by investors. The SEC anticipates that such data sets will be expanded in 2015 to contain data in footnotes to the financial statements.
