Although the compliance landscape has been relatively stable lately, it remains essential for compliance pros to keep their wits sharp. In this article, you'll gain five valuable, and free compliance resources that you can download and share with your colleagues. One of them is even a brand-new Fair Lending training module that you can use at your financial institution!
As the regulators begin to turn their attention to rule-making and reform, like debt collection, it's important for compliance professionals to make sure they are prepared for changes. To help you do just that, we've gathered a handful of valuable compliance resources that you can download and share with your team!
Let's jump right in:
1. Vendor Management Risk Worksheet
Vendor risk management is one of the top risks facing financial institutions today. The regulators will view risks posed by your vendors and third-party partners as your own. Consequences for failing to manage your vendors risks may range from a slap on the risks to fines.
There are a few risks that you need to make sure to manage, and seven of them stand out consistently. You can learn them with this worksheet, released earlier this year. Just fill out this form to get it immediately. You can also learn more about vendor risk and how Ncontracts can help with Nvendor, their vendor management software.
2. Regulatory Compliance Glossary
This completely free compliance glossary includes the definitions for more than 200 key terms that every regulatory compliance pro needs to know. We've heard from more than one reader that they can't believe it's free.
In it, you'll see the essentials details about many of the key compliance regulations. From Fair Lending discrimination to BSA/AML compliance, to lesser-known terms like "AMPTA, the Alternative Mortgage Transactions Parity Act of 1982," there is something for everyone.
Remember, new compliance terminology will be added almost every week! That's why we recommend refreshing the link to this resource often to make sure it’s up-to-date.
3. Guide to Customer Due Diligence for BSA/AML Compliance
The recent changes to BSA/AML compliance requirements have caused more than a little confusion. This new "fifth pillar" of BSA/AML compliance is an essential one, but it does come with challenges.
All financial institutions were required to be in compliance by May of 2018, but we've seen that some continue to struggle. In this free guide to the CDD Rule, you'll learn:
- All about the history of Customer Due Diligence requirements.
- The changes that you'll went into effect in 2018.
- CDD Key Terms, like Beneficial Owner and Legal Entity Customer.
Simply fill out the form to get this free guide today.
