Investopedia explains 'Compliance Examination'

The compliance examination is one of three types of oversight activities carried out by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Other activities include visitations and investigations. Visitations are usually conducted to review compliance for newly-chartered institutions and to review the progress on actions taken to correct previous infractions. Investigations can be launched if problems are brought to the attention of the FDIC.
