Why Should You Attend:

CAMELS is one of the most significant evaluation methodologies for banks employed by US regulators, namely the Federal Reserve Bank, Comptroller of the Currency and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. CAMELS is the titling of the rating system employed by these regulators with the titling standing for each of the components contained in the evaluation methodology. Specifically, a bank’s condition is evaluated with respect to: Capital, Assets, Management, Earnings, Liquidity and Sensitivity to Market Risk. The evaluation system is intense and quite detailed and, based on a bank’s CAMELS evaluation, a bank is given a rating for each individual CAMELS component as well as an overall composite rating. It is imperative that a bank understand the CAMELS evaluation process, how the evaluation of each component is formulated, how ratings are established and the impact of a rating on a bank’s present and planned business initiatives. The understanding of CAMELS must exist with executive management, senior business management as well as with all staff responsibility for the management of the elements of each CAMELS component.

This presentation addresses:

The evaluation considerations that is applied for each CAMELS component

  • how these considerations translate into the rating of each component
  • the meaning of each component rating
  • actions that may be required by a rating
  • the formulation of a bank’s CAMELS composite rating
  • the meaning of a composite rating

Commensurate with the CAMELS evaluation, the FRB conducts two related evaluations:

  • CCARS which is a “Comprehensive Capital Assessment and Review”, and
  • CLAR which is a “Comprehensive Liquidity Assessment and Review”

Both these evaluations not only test a bank’s capital adequacy and liquidity adequacy, they also address a bank’s management policies, procedures and practices that ensure a bank’s ongoing ability to maintain appropriate capital and liquidity management standards.

Topic Background:

The US bank business environment has experienced a variety of issues and problems over the years and US regulators are diligent in ensuring that a bank meets a required standard in key operating areas of a bank which, if not met or are considered substandard, may impact the ongoing viability of a bank. The US regulators continue to engage in improving their assessment methodologies and monitoring processes of banks, thereby increasing the level of bank management attention to the subject areas being evaluated.

Management responsibility to the subject areas of the CAMELs evaluation exits with a bank’s:

  • Board of Directors
  • Executive management
  • Senior business management

However, the specific management of each subject area rests with the staff that is charged with the responsibility of meeting and maintaining the standards set by the regulators for each component.
