School Overview
RCI provides extensive, hands-on training that equips attendees with the knowledge needed to develop and maintain a compliance program, to independently research compliance issues, and to resolve compliance problems. The school is designed to alert students of the most pressing compliance matters and common compliance errors in our complex environment, as well as to instruct students on the basics of laws and regulations included in most national certification examinations. Students will also take away real-world solutions to immediately improve compliance policies and avoid unnecessary practices - saving your institution valuable time and money.

RCI is specifically designed to benefit employees at all levels in the bank - from the bank's legal counsel to tellers and loan officers. This is accomplished by providing general information on the technical requirements of the various compliance regulations. Further, the instructors provide examples of common areas of misunderstanding that lead

Lending Compliance
Bankers know that successful lenders manager risk effectively. Most bankers do a good job of containing credit, rate and environmental risk. But all too often, regulatory compliance risk is not “managed” very well. Compliance failures can cost a bank dearly both in dollars lost and in a damaged public image. During the lending session, the topics that are covered are what you need to know how to manager compliance risk with:

  • Advertising
  • Appraisals and Appraisal Standards

  • Regulation Z - Truth in Lending (including 2009 and 2010 changes)
  • RESPA and HUD’s Regulation X (including 2009 and 2010 changes)
  • Servicemembers Civil Relief Act

Management Session
Useful guidance will be provided by a real-life compliance officer who has endured constant regulatory changes, management and co-worker wrath directed at the “messenger,” challenges related to company growth, and regulatory compliance examinations. Charlene has been in banking for 28 years, 19 of those dedicated to compliance. She will bring to the classroom a wealth of information from her hands-on experience having “been there, done that.” Compliance Management must be structured to fit a bank’s requirements, it is not a one-size-fits-all plan. She will discuss various topics to assist you in developing, administering, or fine-tuning an effective compliance management program for your bank.

Note: While either session can be taken alone, both sessions compliment one another. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you register for both sessions to receive the maximum benefit.
