Mortgage Bankers Association Workshop: Prepare Now for Fair Lending Reviews and Enforcement

Benjamin Klubes participated on a panel addressing fair lending enforcement legal theories at the Mortgage Bankers Association Fair Lending Workshop on January 24, 2012 in Washington, DC.

Designed for company executives, legal counsel, risk officers, compliance officials and fair lending professionals, this CampusMBA workshop provided the latest information on fair lending examinations and government enforcement, which has increased markedly over the last year. The workshop analyzed relevant provisions of the Fair Housing Act and Equal Credit Opportunity Act as areas of particular focus for examiners. Particular attention was given to the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau examination guidelines as well as major government litigation, enforcement and regulatory developments. Finally, the workshop considered ways in which lenders could evaluate their risks through use of statistical analyses and other tools and respond to enforcement and class action litigation.
