Managing High-Risk Customers: CDD and EDD Best Practices Seminar
Due diligence expectations vary based on customer risk and continue to evolve. This seminar provides a practical overview of Customer Due Diligence (CDD) and Enhanced Due Diligence (EDD) best practices for high-risk customers, with a specific focus on nonresident alien and foreign individual accounts. Participants will learn key risk indicators, documentation expectations, and examination considerations when managing these relationships.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand regulatory expectations and best practices for conducting CDD and EDD for high-risk, nonresident alien, and foreign individual customers.
- Identify key risk indicators and documentation requirements specific to nonresident alien and foreign individual accounts.
- Apply a risk-based approach to account onboarding, monitoring, and periodic reviews to better manage compliance and examination risk.
Fair Lending Seminar
Fair lending compliance requires more than understanding regulations. Institutions must be able to identify risk, evaluate lending practices, document findings, and demonstrate that fair lending risks are appropriately managed.
This seminar provides a practical, risk-focused approach to fair lending oversight for community banks, including risk assessments, self-evaluations, data review considerations, redlining analysis, and fair lending program governance.
Participants will explore how institutions can identify areas of elevated risk, consider relevant data and documentation, review lending practices such as pricing, underwriting, exceptions, and geographic lending patterns, and communicate findings to management and the board.
Designed from a practitioner perspective, the program focuses on practical, supportable approaches that can be adapted to an institution’s size, complexity, products, markets, and risk profile. Rather than focusing solely on regulatory requirements, the course emphasizes the processes, documentation, and decision-making that support an effective fair lending compliance management program.
The program is designed for compliance officers, auditors, risk management personnel, lending managers, and others responsible for fair lending oversight and monitoring.
Learning Objectives
- Describe the key components behind fair lending compliance and recognize common risks.
- Understand how to develop and maintain a fair lending risk assessment and utilize the results.
- Distinguish self-evaluations from self-tests and understand how to scope a review.
- Recognize common review areas and how to identify opportunities for program improvement.
- Understand how to communicate risk assessment and self-evaluation results to leadership and how to utilize the results.
