A report released by the Government Accountability Office Monday said the fragmented U.S. financial regulatory structure and overlaps within that structure created inconsistencies in examination activities and the regulatory process. It suggested Congress consolidate federal agencies over depository institutions.

The report, requested by current and former Republican members of the House of Representatives' House Financial Services Committee, was intended to review the financial regulatory structure and any related impacts of fragmentation or overlap, and to provide suggestions to Congress to alleviate certain fragmentation and overlap by federal agencies overseeing depository institutions, among others.

Read the entire report, including the NCUA's response from Executive Director Mark Treichel, here.

What do you think will be the result of the GAO report on overlapping oversight?
The NCUA will be merged into the FDIC.
The CFPB will be given more oversight authority over credit unions.
Nothing will happen. It's just a report and Congress won't act on it.
