Description:As you’ve probably heard, the Community Reinvestment Act or CRA has been in flux over the past few years. Although the OCC independently issued a Final Rule modernizing the CRA in 2020, it recently proposed to rescind that Final Rule and pursue CRA modernization on an interagency basis, together with the Federal Reserve and FDIC. In this webinar we will go into detail on the current state of CRA modernization, focusing on a variety of related topics, including:
Key topics to be addressed include:
- Background and importance of the CRA;
- Reasoning behind the push to modernize the current CRA framework;
- OCC’s Final Rule, its rescission, and transition considerations;
- Where other regulators and interested parties stand;
- What we know about the future of the CRA; and
- Frequently asked questions about CRA modernization.
People who should attend: CRA compliance professionals including CRA Officers, compliance managers, and other relevant compliance team members. Compliance Officers, Risk Management Officers, Loan Officers, and Internal Audit (and their related staff) may also find the information beneficial to the extent that their job responsibilities intersect with CRA compliance.
