This fast-paced seminar provides practical guidance to develop and maintain a risk-based compliance audit program. The CFPB has issued a "Readiness Questionnaire" for the sweeping mortgage changes.

One of the questions asks "Have you updated your risk assessment to reflect the regulatory changes?" Your regulator will be asking this question in the next compliance exam. Have you been watching the amounts of recent civil money penalties for compliance violations? Two examples were a $135,000 penalty for flood insurance and $60,000 for HMDA violations. Could an effective audit program have prevented these fines?

Whether your bank is a small community bank or a large regional institution, this webinar will review the components of an effective audit program. Participants will be guided through completing a risk assessment, defining the audit scope, completing the audit and reporting the results. This webinar also will provide tools and guidance to help you successfully manage the compliance audit function.What You'll Learn:
