July 7, 2009 - Opening Deposit Accounts for Foreign-Born Persons
Presented by Mary Beth Guard and Ken Golliher
When opening deposit accounts for foreign-born individuals, a banker must understand the different categories of legal status, from naturalized citizen to illegal immigrant, and how the status can impact the type of identifying documents available and the process for verifying identity. In addition to fulfilling the CIP requirements, a banker must also obtain the correct TIN for IRS purposes and have the customer fill out the appropriate certification form, whether W-9, W-8BEN. In this webinar, Ken Golliher and Mary Beth Guard guide you through the complex and sometimes confusing requirements.





July 14, 2009 - Understanding Loan Documents
Presented by Jack Holzknecht
Do you understand exactly what the language in your loan documents -- application form, deeds of trust/mortgage deed, promissory note, etc. -- says? Could you explain it to a coworker or borrower? Simple things like the pronouns we use to help make things simpler can confuse customers and bankers alike. Throw in a term like "set off" and you can see why understanding loan documents can be a real challenge. Jack Holzknecht has the answers and will give you the lexicon you need to shed light on the legal terms and words of art often found in these essential banking documents.

August 5, 2009 - Combating Internal Fraud before it happens
Presented by Barry Thompson
If your management team thinks your bank is safe from internal theft, tell them a story or two. Ask them if they heard about the Indiana credit union ripped off by a teller for $7 million. Or describe how collusion between a loan officer, appraiser and real estate agent can result in huge fraud losses. Insiders defraud banks because they can. They learn where controls are weak and oversight is lacking. Barry Thompson's webinar, Combating Internal Fraud before it happens, can help you "wake up" complacent management and create an environment designed to identify and prevent attempts by insiders to defraud your bank.

Will there be time enough for any background checks, training hours and testing that have to be completed?
