SEC finalizes rule to streamline bank disclosures

KPMG reports on changes made to Guide 3 in a new subpart of 1400 Regulation S-K.

The final rule updates and expands the statistical disclosures under Guide 3 that bank and savings and loan registrants provide to investors and further eliminates certain disclosure requirements that are duplicative of other SEC rules and requirements of US GAAP or IFRS.
