Banks are accountable for the accuracy of financial reports they submit to PDIC from which presented industry statistics are derived. If a bank fails to submit the report for the current period, the bank's most recent submitted report is used. Timing differences in data generation principally accounts for the differences that these statistics may have with reports of other agencies and other PDIC reports containing similar data. Other details and/or explanation provided in the material should also be noted as these may contain important information on how the figures were derived or whether there were any procedural refinements applied to the data.

Users are responsible for ensuring accurate presentation of these materials as they are passed on to other concerned users. Caution must be exercised to always include all accompanying notes, explanations, and qualifications to their contents.
