6 Implementation Plans Finding vs. Deficiency IPs should not be used: To correct a finding communicated on an FFC form that should be a deficiency in the report. To make up for poorly constructed recommendations and responses on the FFC form. As a 4 th level of reporting If it is determined that a severe IP is necessary to correct the finding, RABs should ensure the conclusion of finding vs. deficiency was accurate. 11 Implementation Plans If finding does not rise to level of deficiency RAB considers whether firm s response is comprehensive, genuine, and feasible. Repeat Finding If the firm s previous response was the same and it did not work to correct the finding, it should not be deemed as comprehensive, genuine, and feasible. Interpretation 83-2 Supplemental Guidance (Section 3300) Overarching Principle if the firm s response properly addresses the issue, the RAB generally should allow the firm to proceed without additional intervention. 12 6
