Conference Agenda
Tuesday, October 19
9 am – A Year in the Day of a Compliance Officer – Keith Monson
Creating a culture of compliance is an important risk management strategy. Recent regulatory findings have reflected the need for good corporate governance and an effective compliance program is an integral part of this structure. Too often, compliance is perceived as the “business prevention department.” The pressures on financial institutions to manage their compliance exposures more transparently have increased many times over. This session will address the evolving maturity of the compliance profession and compliance management systems.
10:45 am – What’s Causing Waves with the Flood Disaster Protection Act – Molly Stull
During this session we will discuss aspects of the Flood Disaster Protection Act that are frequent violations identified by the regulators, and will provide guidance on how to navigate situations which tend to be a trip line when encountered. Definitely a webinar that will expand your knowledge of the Flood Disaster Protection Act without feeling like you are battling a rip current!
1:30 pm – Building a Strong UDAAP Program – Dawn Kincaid
The CFPB examination manual’s UDAAP (unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices) section addresses the importance of the consumer complaint process. UDAAP violations can cause significant financial injury to consumers, erode consumer confidence, and undermine the financial marketplace. Bottom line – everyone wants to avoid UDAAP issues!
Consumer complaints play a key role in detecting potential UDAAP issues and are an essential information source for regulatory examinations, enforcement, and rule-making. Complaints also have the potential to flag compliance management weaknesses, including training, internal controls, and monitoring. During this session we will review best practices, procedures, and tools to strengthen your UDAAP compliance program!
Wednesday, October 20
9 am – Let’s Talk Error Resolution Under Regulation E – Molly Stull
The Electronic Fund Transfers Act is implemented by Regulation E and our compliance obligations are driven by notifications provided by our customers and our internal actions. It is critical that we recognize when our obligations begin and how we document dates along the way to fulfill our compliance obligations. While requesting notifications “in writing” is an option, we must also understand how this requirement can lead to non-compliance. This is definitely a session designed to help you check the boxes for error resolution compliance!
10:45 am – HMDA - Keith Monson
Fair Lending continues to be an area of emphasis for federal banking regulators and a significant risk management issue for large and small banks. This session will address the confusing HMDA areas and give you the latest interpretations, guidance and best practices. We’ll discuss and provide clarification on mixed-use properties, demographic information collection, complicated data points, action taken: HMDA (Regulation C) versus Regulation B and any additional questions that bubble up during this topic.
1:30 pm – How to Analyze Your Data for Fair Lending – Dawn Kincaid
As long as you are in banking and making loans, fair lending issues are here to stay. Although cases of overt discrimination are few and far apart, disparate treatment or disparate impact can often happen inadvertently. Examiners are expecting you to conduct some degree of comparative file review in order to ascertain any possible fair lending issues or problems. And you certainly want to discover if such a problem exists well before any examiner does!
Awareness, monitoring and a periodic comparative file review can lessen the possibility of adverse issues arising in your institution. We will walk you through the steps of a comparative file review and also provide tools to make it all easier for you, such as worksheets and a sample report format.
Thursday, October 21
9 am – Vendor Management – Keith Monson
Vendor relations have never been more important, virtually every financial institution relies on third parties to provide critical services in some form or fashion. While banks may outsource certain functions, it is imperative that the risks associated with such processes are adequately managed. This session will provide the foundation in which financial institutions can maintain an effective vendor risk management program to protect and mitigate any undesirable impacts that may result from third parties.
10:45 am – Tools & Checklists to Keep the Compliance Officer on Track – Molly Stull
Whether you are a compliance officer rookie or a seasoned veteran, we all are looking for ways to manage the increasing compliance responsibilities for our financial institution! Need a way to document monitoring activities? Do you need a more efficient method to track exceptions? Are you maximizing the electronic resources available at your fingertips? Now is a great time to incorporate some helpful tools and checklists to keep the compliance function on track!
1:30 pm – BSA Hot Buttons: Responding to Increasing Fraud – Dawn Kincaid
Among the many challenges your institution has faced over the last year and half are the increasing number and types of pandemic-related fraud. A number of familiar schemes with a COVID-19 angle have resurfaced with a vengeance! And FinCEN has advised us to be alert: releasing its first guidance in the early days of the pandemic and many additional advisories since.
But…just because there has been an uptick in pandemic-related fraud, it doesn’t mean the “old standard” types have slowed down. SAR filings for suspicious activity related to virtual currency, elder financial exploitation, cyber incidents, and marijuana-related businesses remains high. We will review FinCEN’s reporting guidance in relation to these areas. We will detail how to properly complete the SAR fields in these situations and discuss how to ensure your SAR narrative contains the elements needed to best assist law enforcement. In addition, we will provide procedures and best practices for determining when to file, how to complete, and what to do after a filing.
Friday, October 22
9 am – Deposit Hot Topics – Dawn Kincaid
During our education years, we all wanted to know what was going to be on the test. Well, the compliance examination world is no different, we want to know what is going to be reviewed! Even better than this, regulators have provided examples of recently identified compliance issues. In this session we will review the issues related to deposit compliance and provide hands on training that will enable you to test for these compliance weaknesses and how to implement corrective action if needed! Let’s make sure these issues are not in your next compliance exam report!
10:45 am – Internet & Social Media Compliance – Keith Monson
Banks still struggle with complying with advertising rules when it comes to internet banking and social media even though the FFIEC published Social Media: Consumer Compliance Risk Management Guidance for its members a little over five years ago. In this session we will highlight the applicability of consumer protection and compliance laws, regulations, and policies to activities conducted via internet banking and social media by banks. We will highlight the key issues of advertising via the internet and social media and managing potential compliance risk associated with it.
1:30 pm – New Compliance Officer – Molly Stull
This session is designed to aid the new compliance officer in tackling the institution’s numerous compliance responsibilities and will provide tips and tools to help you manage this role. As a compliance officer, management, the board, and regulators will expect you to provide answers and support for any compliance related question. You will also be expected to develop and maintain a well-documented, effective, risk-based compliance program and stay current with the ever-changing regulatory environment, while managing the three pillars of the FFIEC Consumer Compliance Rating System. This session will provide the training, insight, and tools which are the foundation for a successful compliance officer!
