Banks are also required to file
Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income also known as a Call Report.

Trucking and some farm equipment loans went non paying when interest rates rose this year. The bank was ordered to hire a Special Loan Consultant in thirty days to manage the workouts on these bad loans. The bank failed to correct it's problem and the hammer came down.
Citizens Bank in Sac City was legally shut down Friday November 3rd, 2023 at 4:00 by the Iowa Division of Banking (IDOB).
As part of the closure
by IDOB Superintendent Jeff Plagge, the bank was placed into the receivership
of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
The release states that bank examiners “identified significant
loan losses that had not previously been identified by the bank” while
conducting an examination of the bank. Call reports were not accurate. Officials
said Citizens Bank had a “concentration of out-of-territory and out-of-state
loans to one industry” and then suffered heavy losses from some of those loans.
The bank has since been declared insolvent.
