This report provides an update on the Bureau’s mission, activities, accomplishments, and publications since the last Semi-AnnualReport, and provides additional information required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reformand Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank or Dodd-Frank Act).The Dodd-Frank Act created the Bureau as the nation’s first federal agency with a mission offocusing solely on consumer financial protection and making consumer financial markets workfor American consumers, responsible businesses, and the economy as a whole.
