Ashley Przada didn't plan to spend 14 years in banking. It started with a high school internship at a credit union and led her through two of the Big Five U.S. banks before bringing her back to a community institution where she built a compliance and BSA program nearly from scratch.
In this episode, Ashley gets honest about what it's really like to be a one-person compliance shop: the manual processes, the midnight worries, the examiner relationships, and the moment she realized that asking for help isn't a weakness — it's what good compliance looks like.
In this episode, Rafael DeLeon and Ashley talk about the evolving examiner relationship, building compliance from the ground up, the real cost of manual processes, and managing burnout and the compliance talent crisis.
