Illegal discrimination can take on many forms and does not have to be intentional. In addition, there are now more ways for regulators to identify, track and analyze violations of fair lending laws than ever before, with a mandate to refer cases to the U.S. Department of Justice if warranted. With recent expanded regulatory scrutiny and related enforcement actions, fair lending remains a major risk area for community banks across the country.
Fair Lending is not a new issue facing financial institutions; however, without a risk-based fair lending program in place a bank may open itself up to significant legal, compliance and reputational risks. In this session, Brad Washburn, President of Steve H. Powell & Company will provide a detailed look into the current fair lending environment, including but not limited to the following areas:
• Fair Lending laws and regulations
• Regulatory expectations for Fair Lending compliance programs
• Fair Lending risk assessments and components
• Types and examples of illegal discrimination
• Lessons learned from recent enforcement actions
• Fair Lending hot topics, including Redlining, Appraisal Bias, and impacts of the 1071 Small Business Lending Rule
• Best practices and recommendations for a successful Fair Lending program
