Financial Regulators Proposing Joint Standards for Assessing Diversity Policies and Practices of Regulated Entities
 
Last month the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, and the National Credit Union Administration issued a proposal for joint standards for assessing the diversity policies and practices of the institutions that they regulate.
 
These agencies are covered under Section 342 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which created the Offices of Minority and Women Inclusion. Among others, the standards cover the areas of procurement and business practices and supplier diversity and practices to promote transparency of organizational diversity and inclusion.

• The proposed policy will be published on the Federal Register with a comment period from the public until December 24, 2013. 
• NASP will submit a comment to the Federal Register.  Please note that form letters submitted by multiple individuals, companies, or organizations, count as one response. We encourage NASP members to submit their own comments by the deadline.
