Course description

ICB Credit: 2.5 CRCM

It's been another busy year for operations compliance, even though the spotlight has largely been on lending for the last few years. There were some significant BSA/AML penalties imposed; the usual collection of OFAC announcements of SDN List changes; OFAC violations and settlements; revisions to the Call Report; rulings and guidance from FinCEN; more emphasis on faster payments; the first FinCEN geographically targeted orders (GTOs); a significant penalty for a bank's handling of customer deposit errors; and a huge transportation bill passed in December that offers significant savings for many financial institutions large and small, just for starters. We'll hit all the highlights during this fast review of the year's operations compliance issues, and tell you where to find more information on developments you may have missed during the year.

  • What's new?
  • What's different that you need to be watching?
  • What do you now need to focus your attention on this year?

Find out about the changes that may have slipped through the cracks, or sit back in comfort, knowing that you've covered all the bases and are prepared to take on the upcoming year's inevitable challenges as the Bureau continues to put its stamp on consumer compliance concerns.

Here are some of the things we'll cover in this fast-paced two-hour presentation:


  • UDAP and UDAAP in the operations area - significant enforcement actions
  • The FDIC's recent revision to guidance on servicing payday lenders
  • Overdraft protection - very much still an issue.
  • What to do (or not) about annual privacy notices
