| The latest round of federal regulatory actions included formal agreements with a dozen institutions, four cease-and-desist orders and four civil money penalties. Another three firms faced federal directives, and a bank employee was hit with a removal-prohibition order. Still, four cease-and-desist orders were terminated.
The Federal Reserve Board reported that it entered formal agreements with several financial institutions. The agreements generally require the preservation of capital, improvements in underwriting and compliance, and progress reports. Some agreements require the replacement of management.
Written agreements were made by the fed with the following institutions.
