WHAT?

It has been five years since overhauled HMDA Regulation CC became effective, and Congress, the courts, and the CFPB have made some changes since then. The rules are still complex and confusing, requiring pages of Official Interpretations, along with annual reporting guidance, a Small Entity Compliance Guide, Guidance on collection and reporting of ethnicity, race and other demographic information … the list of challenges goes on. Yet, even with all the compliance guidance on HMDA, banks large and small are getting fined for submission of incomplete or incorrect data. And there continue to be misunderstandings on basics, such as when an application or loan is reportable.

WHY?

This two-hour webinar provides insight into the murky areas of HMDA which may result in the failure to report the appropriate loans on the LAR or errors in reported data fields. Participants receive a detailed manual that serves as a handbook long after the program is completed.
