The Bank Failure Accountability Act mandates deferment of senior employee compensation in large financial institutions to address misaligned.

The Bank Failure Accountability Act requires large financial institutions to defer part of the compensation of their senior employees. These institutions must establish a deferment fund to hold these deferred amounts. If the institution faces a civil or criminal fine, it must first use the deferment fund to cover the fine. If a financial institution fails, it must use the deferment fund to ensure depositors do not lose their deposits. The act aims to address misaligned incentives that contribute to financial instability.
