NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Wells Fargo ( WFC ) CEO

Charlie Scharf expressed more confidence on Wednesday in the

bank's progress to fix compliance problems after its years-long

fake accounts scandal, detailing its efforts to implement risk

controls.

"For every one of our consent orders that we have, for

every one of our regulatory deliverables, we have extremely

detailed plans in place that the regulators have reviewed," he

told the Goldman Sachs Financial Services Conference.

"We track our progress at the operating committee every

single week," Scharf said.

The bank is in the last stages of a process to pass

regulatory tests to lift a $1.95 trillion asset cap next year

after fixing problems from its fake accounts scandal, Reuters

reported exclusively last month.

The asset cap, seen as one of the toughest punishments U.S.

regulators can put in place, was imposed on the bank in 2018

after it failed to fix governance and risk-management lapses

after years of consumer abuses.

The limit curtails Wells Fargo's ( WFC ) ability to take in more

deposits and expand its trading business, two potential growth

areas for the bank, Scharf said earlier this year.
