Key takeaways:

• The year-end bank compliance checklist is long, and in light of recent enforcement actions by the SEC and further regulatory developments slated to take effect in the near term, close collaboration between regulatory and disclosure teams at banking organizations will be key to getting upcoming SEC disclosure right.
• In planning ahead for 2015, several disclosure issues are of particular importance: the SEC’s focus on MD&A disclosure, internal control over financial reporting, Pillar 3 disclosures, the impact of regulation on banking organization disclosure and sanctions and anti-money laundering disclosure.
