Fair Lending Hot Topics

Fair lending is one of the hottest topics right now in the world of regulatory compliance. A big reason for this seems to be that the regulators are discovering a number of new fair lending concerns and then looking for these concerns at each financial institution they go into. In fact, one examiner appeared to recently call this phenomenon a “wave” that carries from one organization to the others.

Sure, fair lending has always been a hot topic on a general, higher level, but the number of nuances compliance professionals must keep up with today is almost overwhelming. From appraisal bias to digital redlining, to traditional redlining - fair lending risk continues to evolve so much so that lenders and their organizations must stay up-to-date with the recent concerns, or they risk being caught in a “wave” of violations picked up by examiners.

Our Fair Lending Hot Topics program covers recent fair lending issues, trends, and concerns and takes a deep dive into the world of fair lending. For this program, our presenter has identified six main topics of discussion in this hour and a half program.

This program would be good for compliance professionals, risk managers, lending professionals, auditors, and anyone who needs to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in the world of fair lending.

What is Included in the Compliance Class?

  • A comprehensive manual

  • A “virtual classroom” instructional video

  • 60-day access to the class

The Virtual Classroom Approach

All of our Compliance Classes are presented in our virtual classroom approach.  This approach is designed to bring the presenter to you (at a fraction of the cost of having a live person) and includes a video of the presenter in front of a slide presentation that replicates a typical seminar environment.  In addition, our presenters take a three-part approach to compliance instruction: to educate, to empower, and to entertain. This is achieved by focusing on relevant topics, speaking in simple to understand, layman's terms, and by keeping it light and humorous whenever possible.  We have found that this "3-E" approach allow students to learn as quickly and effectively as possible. And, it adds a little bit of fun to an otherwise dreadful topic.

Certificate of Completion

Certificates of completion are available upon request. One certificate is available per registration.

60-Day Access

When you purchase this compliance class, you get instant access to the online version of this class for 60 days.  You will also receive an electronic version of the accompanying manual to keep.
