Attend the Fair Lending Seminar from the convenience of your own office or home via Live Streaming Video as it happens on Wednesday, January 26th (9:00 am – 4:00 pm Central Time), or at your own convenience with 6 months of OnDemand playback.
Fair lending continues to be THE hot topic in 2022. The new administration and leadership have been outspoken in their new priorities and goals. This means new requirements and increased enforcement to monitor. Are you keeping up with all the changes that will impact your institution? It is more critical now than ever to ensure your fair lending program covers all the bases. There are new ways of looking at lending patterns, activities, and risks, and new expectations from the agencies.
This full-day streaming event will encompass an in-depth examination of fair lending principles, expectations, and techniques. We’ll explore what’s new in the area of fair lending, to new interpretations of protected classes, to future potential legislation. We’ll also cover aspects of formulating and maintaining an effective fair lending risk assessment, a critical component of an institution’s fair lending compliance program. We’ll also explore the many risks and hot spots to monitor for fair lending, and discuss how to best comply with the new requirements and expectations. We’ll ensure you’re ready for your next fair lending compliance examination so you can put your best foot forward.
