On 2/2/2021, the NCUA announced that they will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, February 11, 2021, that will provide participants with an update on Chairman Todd M. Harper’s priorities, the agency’s supervisory activities, and recently issued guidance and regulations, among other topics. As some may recall, Chairman Harper was announced on 1/25/2021 as President Biden’s designated Chairman of the NCUA Board. Harper is also the NCUA director who, in October of 2020, requested comments regarding the NCUA’s approach to supervising institutions for regulatory compliance. In the announcement about the upcoming webinar, Mr. Harper is quoted as saying that he will share his “regulatory philosophy” with stakeholders during this webinar. Credit union compliance professionals may want to consider taking part in this webinar as it may shed some light on the direction of regulatory compliance supervision and enforcement from the NCUA going forward.
