  Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The FDIC currently guarantees checking and savings deposits in member banks up to $100,000 per depositor.
It was not the FDIC that was tested, but a parallel institution, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (FSLIC), created by Glass-Steagal to insure savings and loan institutions (SandLs).
FSLIC was strained to the breaking point and, in fact, went bankrupt.

 Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
An independent agency of the federal government, the FDIC was created in 1933 in response to the thousands of bank failures that occurred in the 1920s and early 1930s.
In addition, the FDIC is the back-up supervisor for the remaining insured banks and thrift institutions.
The FDIC is managed by a five-person Board of Directors, all of whom are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, with no more than three being from the same political party.

 FDIC Issues Letter on Effect of Sarbanes-Oxley on FDIC-Insured Institutions | Cullen and Dykman LLP
The FDIC notes that applicability of Sarbanes-Oxley depends to a great extent on the size of a bank and whether it is a public company or subsidiary of a public company.
The FDIC confirms that banks that are public companies or subsidiaries of public companies, and their independent public accountants, must comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and the implementing regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including the provisions for auditor independence, corporate responsibility and financial disclosure.
The FDIC notes that Section 302 of Sarbanes-Oxley requires a separate certification by the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of each quarterly and annual report as to the accuracy of the financial reports by specified language.

 FDIC: OIG Audit Report No. 02-014 - Capitalization of Internal-Use Software Development Costs, March 29, 2002   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The FDIC incurs the cost of establishing that system up front in the first year, but measures one-fifth of the initial investment to record it as an expense in each of the 5 ensuing years.
Generally, FDIC employees do not identify all leave hours in a manner that will allow their costs to be accumulated as part of the project development costs of internal-use software.
The FDIC has established a means of accumulating the amount of leave that is taken by employees through the employee’s individual time and attendance forms.

 FDIC Insurance
The FDIC is changing the insurance rules for living trust accounts primarily because the existing rules have been confusing for both consumers and bankers.
In general, a living trust is a type of "revocable" trust that enables the owner (grantor) to retain full control over the assets and the designation of beneficiaries during the owner's lifetime.
The FDIC has determined that this requirement is burdensome and unnecessary, especially when living trust depositors may change the trust beneficiaries at any time.

 Hachikian v. FDIC
In January of 1994, the appellant's attorney again wrote to the FDIC, reiterating his view that the December transaction was accomplished merely as a means of mitigating the damages caused by the FDIC's repudiation of the earlier (June 1993) pact.
To be sure, the FDIC approved a potential settlement on June 3, 1993 – but the agency's records conclusively demonstrate that the contemplated settlement involved only that portion of the appellant's indebtedness that came under the aegis of the WCO.
The FDIC asserts without contradiction that its board passed a resolution concerning the delegation of authority to dispose of corporate assets (like the debts Hachikian owed to failed banks and which were inherited by the FDIC qua receiver), and that this resolution was in effect at all relevant times.

 Commonwealth of Mass. v. FDIC
The new policy was merely announced in a 1988 presentation by one of the FDIC's staff attorneys at a conference of the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.
The FDIC's position is, in context, an eminently reasonable interpretation of the statute.
Massachusetts' theory appears to be that as a fiduciary of the depositors, it had no claim against FDIC-Receiver for the pro rata value of the abandoned deposits until the expiration of depositors' rights to claim the insured value of their accounts.

 Consumer Information Center - FDIC: Your Insured Deposit - General Insurance Page   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The FDIC presumes that funds are owned as shown on the "deposit account records" of the insured depository institution.
If the FDIC determines that the deposit account records of the institution are unambiguous, those records are binding on the depositor.
Generally, the FDIC will not recognize a fiduciary relationship (e.g., trustee, agent, nominee, guardian, executor, custodian, or conservator) unless the relationship is specifically disclosed in the deposit account records.

The FDIC was hit in January when a phishing scam was used to try to lure consumers into entering their personal bank-account information onto a Web page that claimed to be from the agency (see story).

The FDIC's mission is to "maintain stability and public confidence in the nation's financial system" by insuring deposits at virtually all U.S. banks and savings associations.
The FDIC has made some improvements since an earlier audit, reviewing system software, adding guard service and surveillance to its computer rooms, and determining appropriate levels of security for corporate data, the GAO report said, but hasn't adequately protected itself against new threats.

Beginning in 1934, the FDIC was a smashing success at liquidating highly marketable farm land which once belonged to struggling families who, thanks to usurers and funneling usurpers, couldn't keep up with their Federal Farm Loans of 1916.
By 1976, the FDIC liquidation division constituted the largest real estate investment trust in the U.S. and the corporation overall was the 49th largest U.S. conglomerate.
It is unclear who actually regulates the aspect of the FDIC which consistently comes up with billions in bail out packages that actually allow bad bankers and directors to be forgiven while their grantees end up with loads of valuable property for half its value or even for nothing.
