Overview

Why You Should Attend

In the years post-crisis, banks and financial institutions had a chance to respond to the first wave of finalized post-recession regulation and learn how their conformance and compliance programs held up to scrutiny.  This past year gave us some revealing developments on how banks and financial institutions navigated the new regulatory landscape and the challenges in interpreting those regulations and designing new business policies to achieve compliance.  We saw major developments in how “living will” plans should be designed, how a SIFI designation was challenged, the maturation of CCAR as a vital risk management tool, the expansion of the CFPB’s purview and the emergence of new financial technology (FinTech) that is starting to disrupt the traditional models for conducting a range of financial transactions.  

Now, the banking industry is preparing for an even more heightened regulatory focus, with regulators building on the fresh ground it broke post crisis, sharpening its attention on banks and financial institution’s audit, compliance and business practices, hunting for gaps in compliance protocols and mismatches between risk management processes and actual business practice.  If the Dodd-Frank Act and the few years following it were the first stage in responding to the financial crisis, we are now in stage two.  The final rules have been instituted.  Regulatory agencies clarified rule interpretations and banks and financial institutions have their compliance plans in place.  The industry has settled into fine-tuning its compliance programs and changes to its business lines, just in time to prepare for the next set of regulatory and industry developments sure to come.
