The community banking industry is reacting to unchartered economic turmoil and an increasingly complex regulatory environment since last year. Today, community banks face a whole host of new challenges that are putting enormous pressure on earnings, liquidity and capital. The American Institute of Public Accountants and the FASB are not helping out community bankers very much either with their focus on mark-to-market rules, loan loss reserves and other standards that are geared to larger, publicly traded institutions.
