Compliance Class: Spring 2024 Quarterly Compliance Update

Regulatory change management has become a pillar of an effective compliance management system, or CMS. Regulators expect financial institutions to have a system that allows them to both identify and then effectively implement regulatory changes so that it does not get behind on its compliance responsibilities which could lead to compliance deficiencies or worse, consumer harm.

In today’s environment, regulatory changes seem to happen on an almost daily basis, creating a burden of keeping up with regulatory activity that is greater than ever before. This means that financial institutions must spend great efforts and resources in keeping up with these changes, or they risk something falling through the cracks. Yet, compliance budgets are often extremely tight and have limited opportunities for additional staff to assist with the monitoring of regulatory changes. This is where outsourcing can be an extremely efficient and effective solution to regulatory change management.

While some financial institutions utilize internal resources to do all of the monitoring of regulatory changes, this isn’t usually cost effective when you add up the amount of time necessary to monitor - and understand - the change taking place, let alone determine if the changes actually apply to the organization. For this reason, we have created a Quarterly Compliance Update program that is designed to provide a quick and easy way to stay informed of the regulatory compliance activity that took place in the prior quarter. In other words, our quarterly compliance update program can assist you with your regulatory change management program for the fraction of the cost of hiring additional internal staff to assist with this function.

Each quarter, we release a new Quarterly Compliance Update program so that we are covering all of the regulatory changes that take place throughout the entire year. This is accomplished through our four Quarterly Compliance Updates: Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall. Each new quarterly compliance update covers all of the regulatory activity for banks and credit unions (including BSA) that took place in the prior quarter, ensuring that nothing falls through the cracks.

Spring 2024 Quarterly Compliance Update

Our Spring 2024 Quarterly Compliance Update is designed to provide compliance professionals with the “need to know” information about what compliance activity took place during the months of January, February & March of 2024 (see below for an outline of course topics). This quarter’s program is again packed with a ton of information, and provides attendees a great option to make sure that nothing slips through the cracks.

Part II Featured Topic: 2024 FDIC Official Sign and Advertising Rule

For each quarterly update class, we focus on a different featured topic for Part II of our program. Part II of our Spring 2024 Quarterly Compliance Update will provide an overview of the new FDIC Rule on official signs and advertising of membership that was published in the Federal Register on January 18 of 2024. This final rule is the first real revision of the FDIC’s rules since 2006 and applies to all “Insured Depository Institutions” (i.e. banks that have FDIC Insurance). While the FDIC official signs and advertising of membership rules may have sometimes been an afterthought for banks, the new final rule requires a number of changes, including a new digital sign for electronic media as well as a requirement for banks to establish policies and procedures relating to the FDIC’s official sign and advertising rules.

NOTE: For those interested who are interested in only PART II of our program, we are offering PART II of this program as a standalone class in our store: 2024 FDIC Official Sign and Advertising Rule.

Who Should Attend This Program?

While specifically designed for Compliance Officers and risk managers who have the responsibility of keeping up with new rules and regulation changes, this program would be beneficial for anyone with compliance management responsibilities in a financial institution who needs to stay current with changes in the compliance world.  For example, this program could be shared with compliance assistants, management, or a Compliance Council/Committee to keep them apprised of current activities and enhancing the organization’s overall compliance management system. In addition, auditors who have the responsibility of reviewing compliance areas would also greatly benefit from this program.

“The Quarterly Compliance Programs are a great way to make certain no key regulatory changes were missed. Adam has a way of presenting compliance information in an engaging way, which is no simple task. He also covers at least one other topic more in depth as a nice review. Love the manuals too, lots of links to resources!”
“Adam has a way of making Compliance Training entertaining. He adds relevant stories to break up the dry regulatory language. I highly recommend Compliance Cohort for your training needs.”

What is Included in the Compliance Class?

This Compliance Class can be completed without leaving your office and provides you with everything you need to know about what compliance related activity took place during the prior quarter.

The class includes the following:

  • A comprehensive manual

  • A “virtual classroom” instructional video

  • 60-day access to the class

  • Certificate of completion (1 per registration - available upon request)

The Virtual Classroom Approach

All of our Compliance Classes are presented in our virtual classroom approach.  This approach is designed to bring the presenter to you (at a fraction of the cost of having a live person) and includes a video of the presenter in front of a slide presentation that replicates a typical seminar environment.  In addition, our presenters take a three-part approach to compliance instruction: to educate, to empower, and to entertain. This is achieved by focusing on relevant topics, speaking in simple to understand, layman's terms, and by keeping it light and humorous whenever possible.  We have found that this "3-E" approach allow students to learn as quickly and effectively as possible. And, it adds a little bit of fun to an otherwise dreadful topic.

Certificate of Completion

Certificates of completion are available upon request. One certificate is available per registration.

60-Day Access

When you purchase this compliance class, you get instant access to the online version of this class for 60 days.  You will also receive an electronic version of the accompanying manual to keep.
