Summary:
In the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) for the March 31, 2018, report date, revisions to several schedules are taking effect in response to changes in the accounting for equity securities and other equity investments. The Call Report for the first quarter of 2018 must be submitted to the banking agencies' Central Data Repository (CDR) by Monday, April 30, 2018. Certain institutions with foreign offices have an additional five calendar days to file their reports.
Statement of Applicability to Institutions With Total Assets Under $1 Billion: This Financial Institution Letter applies to all FDIC-supervised banks and savings associations, including community institutions.
Highlights:
- As previously announced in FIL-2-2018 and FIL-4-2018 , several Call Report schedules have been revised this quarter to address changes in the accounting for equity securities and other equity investments that take effect for some institutions in the first quarter of 2018.
- The instructions for Schedule RC-R, Regulatory Capital, have been revised to incorporate the banking agencies' November 2017 final rule extending the transition provisions applicable during 2017 for certain regulatory capital deductions, risk weights, and minority interest limitations for non-advanced approaches institutions.
