Determine the extent of the bank&rsquo;s relationships with NBFIs and, for banks with significant relationships with NBFIs, review the bank&rsquo;s risk assessment of this activity. </p> <p class="style2">2. Review the policies, procedures, and processes related to NBFI accounts. Evaluate the adequacy of the policies, procedures, and processes given the bank&rsquo;s NBFI activities and the risks they represent.

(Note: registration must be renewed every two years.)</li> <li>Confirm state licensing, if applicable. </li> <li>Confirm agent status, if applicable. </li> <li>Conduct a risk assessment to determine the level of risk associated with each account and whether further due diligence is required. </li> </ul> <p class="style2">6.

On a basis of the bank&rsquo;s risk assessment of its NBFI accounts, as well as prior examination and audit reports, select a sample of higher-risk NBFI accounts. From the sample selected, perform the following examination procedures: </p> <ul> <li>Review account opening documentation and ongoing due diligence information. </li> <li>Review account statements and, as necessary, specific transaction details. Compare expected transactions with actual activity. </li> <li>Determine whether actual activity is consistent with the nature of the customer&rsquo;s business and identify any unusual or suspicious activity. </li> </ul> <p class="style2">8.
