Course description

Discrimination can be obvious, subtle or unintended. Charges of discrimination can come from any direction. Risk comes in the form of penalties, regulatory enforcement actions, civil liability, or damage to a bank's reputation, to mention a few. The best defense to these threats and risks is developing and maintaining a sound fair lending compliance management system.

Over the years Fair Lending violations have led to consent decrees that include:
