Join us for this special 2-hour class and workshop for community bankers to explore the requirements and the environment for Fair Lending standards. We will discuss the basic requirements that all community banks must demonstrate, beginning with the Fair Lending risk assessment process. We will also review policy, training, application and underwriting processes. We will analyze the inter-related Equal Credit Opportunity Act (Regulation B) and Fair Housing Act. We will share common errors, audit exceptions and exam findings to highlight potential gaps. Finally, we will break into groups to explore the operationalizing of compliance and best practices at your institution, including risk-rating loan exceptions for Fair Lending.
