with regulators on strengthening risk management and controls. We also note the
statement on page 57 that you are required by the consent orders to make improvements in
various aspects of enterprise-wide risk management, compliance, data quality
management and governance, and internal controls. Please revise future filings to further
clarify the material areas of focus and status of efforts you are making with respect to the
consent orders and overall risk management, governance and internal controls.
In this regard, we also note the statements (i) on page 174 regarding the additional
compensation approved for certain employees “based on the achievement of Citi’s
transformation goals from August 2021 through December 2024" and (ii) on page 17 of
your proxy indicating a “Performance Achievement Percentage” of 80% for 2023, down

used to compute the Performance Achievement Percentages and explain any significant
goals that were not met or if other factors caused the decline in the percentage for 2023.

2.We note your disclosure of geographic information, such as revenue and portfolio mix,
here and elsewhere in the filing. Where quantitative information is presented for
International in the aggregate, please revise your disclosures to quantify and clarify the

3.We note your disclosure on page 91 that Citi’s liquidity is managed centrally by Corporate
Treasury, in conjunction with regional and in-country treasurers with oversight provided
by Independent Risk Management and various Asset & Liability Committees (ALCOs) at
the individual entity, region, country and business levels. Given that Citi operates and
appears to have various types of deposit balances (e.g., time, uninsured, etc.) across
domestic and foreign jurisdictions, please revise to disclose more details of any policies
and procedures that seek to manage material risks specific to any of the jurisdictions in
which you operate. As an example, these might include any management policies or
controls relating to the types of deposits, such as internal limits on concentrations in
uninsured and brokered deposits in total or by type of depositor within a region or
jurisdiction, or how you manage the availability of liquidity resources within a specific
jurisdiction.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
