Regulatory Tips, Tricks, and Trends – Looking Back and Ahead!
Wednesday, January 18 | 2:00 PM ET
In 2022, many “new normals” were established. Although banking offices and lobbies were open for business, more and more customers and members were choosing to transact electronically and bankers were choosing more work-from-home alternatives. In addition, auditors and examiners went to a permanent remote/on-site hybrid model.
Join Tom Hinkel, VP of Compliance Services, as he looks back at the new compliance and regulatory norms that took hold in 2022 and then looks ahead at what guidance changes could emerge in 2023. Most importantly, he will share some steps you can take now to ensure you are ready for the “new normals” and prepared for examiner/auditor scrutiny!
In this webinar, he will explore:
- Recent (and future) regulatory guidance changes
- Lessons learned from 2022 IT exams and audits
- Feedback from our customers on their exam experience
- Evolving cyberattack trends
- Tips and tricks to stay ahead of the regulators in 2023
