Comprehensive Capital Analysis & Review (CCAR) is a supervisory assessment by the Federal Reserve of the capital planning processes and capital adequacy of the large, complex bank holding companies (BHCs).

Fed expects large, complex BHCs to hold sufficient capital in order to maintain access to funding, to meet their obligations to creditors and counterparties, to continue operations, even under adverse economic situations. CCAR is the central mechanism of Fed for developing supervisory assessments of capital adequacy at these firms.
