Product Update Notification Audit Policy Update - 12/27/05 Bankpolicies.com is proud to announce the immediate availability of our revised Audit Policy and Procedures Template product. The revision to this product is in response to the FDIC's Financial Institution Letter 119-2005 "Annual Independent Audits and Reporting Requirements - Amendments to Part 363" released on 11/28/05. This guidance has amended Part 363 of FDIC regulations by raising the asset-size threshold from $500 million to $1 billion for internal control assessments by management and external auditors. For institutions between $500 million and $1 billion in assets, only a majority, rather than all, of the members of the audit committee, who must be outside directors, must be independent of management. The final rule is effective December 28, 2005. http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/financial/2005/fil11905.html What's Revised Topic 3 - Sarbanes-Oxley Act Requirements.
