Description:
This 90-minute session outlines how to conduct a gap analysis for Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act and will help you understand how changes to the reporting requirements impact your organization.
Together, we’ll examine what the law requires, analyze what elements may already be a part of your lending program, and discuss how to strengthen areas that may be deficient.
WHY:
On March 30, 2023, the CFPB issued a final rule amending Regulation B to implement changes to ECOA made by Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Lawsuits have been plaguing the regulation since its release. However, what needs to be discussed and understood is that there is still a law needing implementation. The CFPB’s data collection requirements in the regulation is not that far off from the law.
In this session we will cover:
- What the law requires.
- Why a gap analysis is so important and how its findings should influence your program.
- Actionable strategies for creating and conducting an effective Section 1071 gap analysis.
- How to share your findings with the Board, Senior Management, and colleagues for more meaningful risk-based discussions.
WHO:
This session is designed for anyone who needs a better understanding of Section 1071’s final rule. It may be particularly beneficial for compliance officers, as well as those working in commercial lending, compliance, training, loan services, auditing, and senior management.
