| Let us audit your web site to help
you comply with the federal regulations affecting a financial institution's
web site. Our audit follows the FFIEC Internet and weblinking guidelines,
which includes auditing and continuous monitoring, as well as the
Americans with Disabilities Act. We conduct hundreds of web site audits
annually. Our web site audit clients range in size
from $12 million in assets to over $3.5 billion. Internet access allows us to perform the
initial audit and monitoring from our corporate offices.
Our years of
examining experience gives us the understanding of federal regulations necessary to
properly conduct your web site audit. This understanding and experience will provide
you with a professional and constructive audit.

If your institution is on the Internet, the FFIEC states that your institution
web site
is required to comply with
consumer compliance,
advertising, notifications, Americans with Disabilities Act, and other federal regulations. We have identified 17
federal regulations and over 130 issues that relate to a institution web site. The
implications of emerging electronic financial services, which
includes your institution's web site, could cause unwanted criticism from examiners as well as
potential liability to your institution, officers, and directors from civil money penalties and
law suites.

The FFIEC Internet guidelines require in part
"a monitoring system implemented to review continually the content and operation of
the online programs to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized changes that may affect
compliance with the regulations." After performing the Initial Web Site Audit,
we will monitor your site either semi-annually, quarterly, or monthly to ensure continual
compliance with FFIEC guidelines. The continual monitoring will authorize your home
page to display our  seal.
The Web Site Audit covers the federal regulations that apply to your
institution's web pages. View an animation outlining the steps of a Web Site Audit.
The audit covers what
a visitor to your web site can see on the Internet site. While the audit
reviews the web site for disclosures, the disclosures are not audited for
content; however, any exceptions noted will be discussed with the Client.
In addition, we do not audit the web design code and the audit does not
include Internet security issues; however, any exceptions noted will be
discussed with the Client. The Client agrees that Yennik will have complete
access to all web pages necessary in the performance of these auditing
services. Yennik agrees to keep all information about the Client’s web site
operations, security, and programming confidential
as required by the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

about a $4 billion bank that received some negative press because of an error regarding
their Internet activities. This is one good reason to have an independent review of
your Internet activities.
