Reliance on Third Party Verification in Bank Supervision

We examine how third party verification of internal controls over financial reporting (ICFR) affects bank supervision by exploiting a change in size thresholds for required FDICIA-related internal control audits. We document that affected banks have higher reported levels of non-performing loans after the removal of internal control audit requirements compared to unaffected banks.
