The attached materials pertain to the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) for the September 30, 2024, report date and provide guidance on certain reporting issues. This Financial Institution Letter and the attached Supplemental Instructions should be shared with the individual(s) responsible for preparing the Call Report at your institution. Please plan to complete as early as possible the preparation, editing, and review of your institution’s Call Report data and the submission of these data to the agencies’ Central Data Repository (CDR). Starting your preparation early will help you identify and resolve any edit exceptions before the submission deadline. If you later find that certain information needs to be revised, please make the appropriate changes to your Call Report data and promptly submit the revised data file to the CDR.
Except for certain institutions with foreign offices, your completed Call Report must be received by Wednesday, October 30, 2024, in accordance with the filing requirements discussed below. An institution with more than one foreign office, other than a “shell” branch or an International Banking Facility, is permitted an additional five calendar days to submit its Call Report data. Such an institution must electronically file its data to the CDR no later than Monday, November 4, 2024.
There are no new or revised data items that take effect this quarter in the FFIEC 051, FFIEC 041 or FFIEC 031 Call Report. In addition, there are no updates to the Call Report instructions or Supplemental Instructions this quarter. Institutions should refer to the attached Supplemental Instructions for September 2024 for additional guidance on certain reporting issues.
As a reminder, in June 2024, the agencies included clarifications to the instructions on the reporting of the Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) of Internet websites on Schedule RC-M, Memoranda, item 8.b, “URLs of all other public-facing Internet websites that the reporting institution uses to accept or solicit deposits from the public, if any.”
Also, the revisions to the Call Report forms and instructions related to the reporting of loans to nondepository financial institutions (NDFIs) that were included in the final 30-day Federal Register notice published on May 22, 2024 (89 FR 45046) are effective as of the December 31, 2024, report date. Institutions that require additional time should still report loans to NDFIs on a best efforts basis as of the December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025, report dates, and comprehensively no later than June 30, 2025.
The Call Report forms for September 30, 2024, are available for printing and downloading from the FFIEC’s Reporting Forms webpage for each version of the Call Report. These forms can also be accessed from the FDIC’s Bank Financial Reports webpage.
Each institution must file its September 30, 2024, Call Report data in one of two ways:
- By using computer software to prepare and edit its report data and then electronically submitting the data directly to the CDR; or
- By completing its report in paper form and arranging with a software vendor or another party to convert the paper report to the electronic format that can be processed by the CDR. The software vendor or other party then must electronically submit the institution’s Call Report data file to the CDR.
Electronic submission of third quarter 2024 Call Report data will be considered timely if the data are received by the CDR no later than Wednesday, October 30, 2024, or Monday, November 4, 2024, as applicable, and pass FFIEC-published criteria for validity and quality edits or, where necessary, contain explanations for any quality edits that are not passed.
The CDR Help Desk is available from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, to provide assistance with user accounts, passwords, and other CDR system-related issues.
