Stay Ahead of Regulatory Change Without Burning Out Your Team
For today’s compliance officers and risk managers, regulatory change management isn’t optional—it’s the backbone of a strong Compliance Management System (CMS). Regulators expect financial institutions to not only track every rule change, but also analyze, interpret, and implement those changes quickly and accurately. Falling behind can easily result in compliance deficiencies, examiner criticism, and, most importantly, potential consumer harm.
But here’s the challenge: regulatory changes are arriving at a pace that feels relentless. Updates, rollbacks, new proposals, guidance, enforcement, clarifications, and even rule recissions are released every week, creating an overwhelming burden on already stretched compliance teams. Budgets are tight, staffing is lean, and dedicating internal resources to monitor, digest, and apply every change is rarely cost-effective.
That’s where our Quarterly Compliance Update program steps in. Each quarter, we provide compliance professionals with a practical, time-saving solution to regulatory change management. Instead of sifting through endless regulatory releases, you’ll receive a clear, concise update that highlights what actually happened in the prior quarter—what changed, why it matters, and how it impacts your institution. In other words, we do the heavy lifting for you, so nothing slips through the cracks.
Efficient: A fraction of the cost (and time) of dedicating internal staff to monitor changes.
Comprehensive: Covers all regulatory compliance activity relevant to banks and credit unions, including BSA.
Consistent: Delivered quarterly (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) so your institution stays current year-round.
Action-Oriented: Focused on what you need to know to strengthen your CMS by helping you create an action plan during the program.
This quarter’s program covers the key compliance developments from July, August, and September 2025. You’ll walk away with a clear understanding of the most important regulatory changes, plus insights into what they mean for your risk strategy moving forward. Designed for busy compliance and risk professionals, the Fall 2025 update gives you the confidence that nothing important has been overlooked—without requiring hours and hours of digging through updates yourself.
For each quarterly update class, we focus on a different featured topic for Part II of our program. Part II of our Fall 2025 Quarterly Compliance Update includes a special stand-alone class: Disparate Impact. Our Disparate Impact program, which includes an overview, regulatory guidance, and practical examples of disparate impact, has been updated to incorporate the most recent changes, including 2025 CFPB activity and the proposed amendments to Regulation B.
NOTE: For those who are interested in only PART II of our program, we are offering PART II of this program as a standalone class that can be purchased individually in our store: Disparate Impact.
While specifically designed for compliance officers and risk managers who have the responsibility of keeping up with new rules and regulation changes, this program would be beneficial for anyone with compliance management responsibilities in a financial institution who needs to stay current with changes in the compliance world. For example, this program could be shared with compliance assistants, management, or a Compliance Council/Committee to keep them apprised of current activities and enhancing the organization’s overall compliance management system. In addition, auditors who have the responsibility of reviewing compliance areas would also greatly benefit from this program.
The Fall 2025 Quarterly Compliance Update will be submitted to the ABA for CE credits review.
EARLY BIRD Price: $329 (Regular: $399)
NOTE: Premium members automatically have access to each Quarterly Compliance Update once it is released. For those wanting to enroll in all four Quarterly Compliance Updates each year, a premium membership will offer you access to each quarterly update at a discounted, bundled price. You can learn more about our premium memberships by clicking here.

Adam has a way of presenting compliance information in an engaging way, which is no simple task. He also covers at least one other topic more in depth as a nice review. Love the manuals too, lots of links to resources!””
““Adam has a way of making Compliance Training entertaining. He adds relevant stories to break up the dry regulatory language. I highly recommend Compliance Cohort for your training needs.””
This Compliance Class can be completed without leaving your office and provides you with everything you need to know about what compliance related activity took place during the prior quarter.
The class includes the following:
A comprehensive manual
A “virtual classroom” instructional video
60-day access to the class
Certificate of completion (1 per registration - available upon request)
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.
Certificates of completion are available upon request. One certificate is available per registration.
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.
We believe in our training products so much that we are offering a 100% money back guarantee within the first 10 business days after purchase.
