The SEC issued a Final Rule, Update of Statistical Disclosures for Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants, to codify certain disclosures that are currently located in Industry Guide 3, “Statistical Disclosure by Bank Holding Companies,” in the new Subpart 1400, Disclosure by Bank and Savings and Loan Registrants, of Regulation S-K. The Final Rule also eliminates disclosures that overlap with SEC rules, U.S. GAAP, or IFRS Standards, and will rescind Guide 3 as of Jan. 1, 2023. While registrants that comply with Subpart 1400 are not expected to provide Guide 3 disclosures that are not otherwise required, voluntary compliance is permitted.
The Final Rule applies to both foreign and domestic registrants that are bank holding companies, banks, savings and loan associations, and savings and loan holding companies.
The amendments are effective for fiscal years ending on or after Dec. 15, 2021, with early compliance permitted. Disclosure of the information in Subpart 1400 is required for annual periods, while disclosure of only material changes in the information (or trends in the information) is required for interim periods.
Grant Thornton insight
The Final Rule allows for the statistical disclosures to either be contained within or located outside of the notes to the financial statements. However, if the disclosures are voluntarily included within the notes to the financial statements, the disclosures are subject to financial-statement audit and XBRL requirements.
