WHAT?  

The world of HMDA changed dramatically on January 1, 2018. The final rules implementing changes to Regulation C required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act were generally effective on that date. The modifications to HMDA were massive and many financial institutions are still dealing with the challenges of collecting data under the burdensome new requirements. This program provides the top 15 issues that may have been overlooked when implementing the new HMDA requirements. 

WHY? 

This two-hour webinar provides insight into the muddy areas of HMDA which may result in incorrect entries in the data fields on the HMDA LAR and lead to violations. Participants receive a detailed manual that serves as a handbook long after the program is completed. 

The program explores:
