Discrimination, disparate treatment, and disparate impact: three things you never want to see in an examiner’s findings.  Do you understand how inadvertent discrimination can manifest?  Has it unknowingly happened?  Comparative file review can yield some answers. 

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

• Understand how inadvertent discrimination can occur (disparate treatment and disparate impact)
• Conduct a comparative file review that will pass muster with examiners
• Self-identify problematic lending policies and processes that could be construed as a fair lending or redlining issue
• Ensure your fair lending related policies are strong
• Be confident about your next fair lending exam

WEBINAR DETAILS

Although overt cases of lending discrimination are infrequent, disparate treatment or disparate impact can occur inadvertently.  Examiners expect financial institutions to conduct comparative file reviews to identify potential fair lending issues – which you want to find well before an examiner does!

Awareness, monitoring, and periodic comparative file review can lessen the likelihood of adverse issues arising.  This informative webinar will walk through the steps of a comparative file review and provide worksheets and a sample report format to make it easier.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is directed to compliance officers, loan officers (commercial and consumer), lending support staff, and auditors.  Board members and management will also benefit from this timely session, because they are ultimately responsible for your fair lending standards.

TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT

• Fair lending self-assessment questionnaire
• Excel spreadsheet for data capture (automatically generates trend analysis)
• HMDA data collection worksheet with all the required data fields
• Report boilerplate to summarize your analysis (for board reporting)
• Employee training log
• Interactive quiz
