The OCC’s Foreign Technical Assistance (FTA) Program seeks to help foreign supervisors develop, improve, and refine their supervisory systems. The objectives of the program are to:

• Establish, build and maintain relationships with foreign banking supervisory organizations;
• Strengthen supervision of our banks with operations internationally; by assisting host countries improve their bank supervision process;
• Help enhance international expertise of OCC examiners and staff; and
• Assist with mandates that supervisory authorities lend their resources to various groups to help promote and encourage adoption of international standards by foreign supervisory authorities.
