 LFI Assessment Background and Approach  Synovus conducted a future state gap assessment of current capabilities compared to incremental regulatory requirements and supervisory expectations for a Large Financial Institution (LFI) with assets between $100Bn and $250Bn.  Background and Scope  Approach  Assessment performed against incremental regulatory requirements (e.g., Regulation YY), supervisory expectations, and peer practices that would be expected as we grow beyond $100Bn.  Scope spanned regulatory reporting, data and technology, capital, liquidity and risk management capabilities required for organizations with assets between $100Bn and $250Bn.  Deep dive on regulatory reporting and data and technology with more targeted reviews of risk management, capital planning, and liquidity risk management.  Proactively conducted assessment to identify areas of capability gaps and provide recommendations on next steps for us to align to LFI expectations.  Defined regulatory requirements and supervisory expectations for an LFI with assets between $100Bn and $250Bn.  Performed an LFI Readiness assessment through workshops and review of supporting artifacts to identify and outline key activities for near-term/long-term planning required to achieve target state LFI requirements.   Developed recommendations bifurcated between near-term and long-term, including program cost estimates, resourcing, and implementation timelines.  Implementation horizon is in line with MOE-driven timelines  Source: SNV internal report
