Summary

This booklet presents the OCC's view on how a board of directors and management can implement a common sense approach to community banking. It is our perspective on what makes a difference in the community banks that excel. We share fundamental banking best practices that have proven useful to boards of directors and management in successfully guiding their community banks through economic cycles and environmental changes.
