Should the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) be Abolished? A Conversation with Special Guest Carter Dougherty, Financial Reform Advocate and Author of “The Money Trust” Newsletter - a podcast by Ballard Spahr LLP

Mr. Dougherty recently authored an article calling for the OCC’s abolishment and merger into the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.  After reviewing the history of the creation of the OCC and Federal Reserve Banks, we examine and debate Mr. Dougherty’s arguments in support of his position.  We also discuss and respond to Mr. Dougherty’s criticism of the OCC’s “true lender,” Community Reinvestment Act, and fair access rules.
