Today’s financial institutions must have sound compliance management systems (CMS). From making sure everyone is following policies and procedures to training staff to tracking, understanding, and implementing new regulations and predicting the impact of proposed rules, it’s a never-ending exercise in organization and education. This program provides a practical, risk-based review of the basic requirements of a CMS.

Federal regulators require financial institutions to have a CMS. While each agency has its own definition of a CMS, it all boils down to one simple concept: how a financial institution manages consumer compliance risk. All regulators expect it.

A CMS is how an institution:

  • Learns about its compliance responsibilities
  • Ensures that employees understand these responsibilities
  • Ensures that requirements are incorporated into business processes
  • Reviews operations to ensure responsibilities are carried out and requirements are met
  • Takes corrective action and updates materials as necessary

In addition, it helps manage risk! A CMS helps manage risks associated with:

  • Changing product and service offerings
  • New legislation enacted to address developments in the marketplace
  • Noncompliance with consumer protection laws may result in: litigation, monetary penalties, and other formal enforcement actions

What You'll Learn
  • A review of the basic requirements of a CMS and tailoring them to your financial institution.
  • How changing regulatory requirements pose a risk if not tracked and managed properly.
  • Breaking down institutional silos to build and maintain a better CMS.
  • Reviewing, testing, and monitoring operations to ensure requirements are working as intended.
  • Training business units.
  • Correcting and preventing consumer harm.
