As regulator of the FHL Bank System and regulator and conservator of the Enterprises, FHFA will promote safe and sound operations at the regulated entities through the agency's supervisory program. FHFA uses a risk-based approach to conducting supervisory examinations, which prioritizes examination activities based on the risk a given practice poses to a regulated entity's safe and sound operation or its compliance with applicable laws and regulations. FHFA conducts on-site examinations at the regulated entities, ongoing risk analysis, and off-site review and surveillance. FHFA communicates supervisory standards to the regulated entities, establishes expectations for strong risk management, identifies risks, and requires remediation of identified deficiencies.
