2010 WEBINARS

 

FEBRUARY 2010

This session presents a unique collateral documentation checklist that gives lenders the ability to quickly and effectively review collateral documentation for acceptability.

There will also be a brief discussion of loan agreements, their purpose, use, role and content.

The Institute of Certified BankersTM(ICB) is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of performance and ethics within the financial services industry. This webinar has been approved for 2.5 CLBB credits.

As the industry goes through troubled times, proper valuation of collateral is critical.

Yet most people reviewing appraisals have never been properly trained in how to review this critical information.

  • Big Changes Under Stage 2 of the Credit Card Act

    Webinar
    February 9, 2010
    11:30am - 1:30pm Pacific Time

    Impacting not just credit cards...

    The Credit CARD Act is a major piece of legislation that will have far-reaching effects on the credit card industry, of course, but even if you don't offer credit cards, there are provisions that will (or already do) impact your lending operations. Several of the Act's provisions cover other types of open-end credit accounts, including non-real estate lines and even HELOCs.

    The Credit CARD Act rules are being implemented within Regulation Z in 3 stages; the first set of rules are already effective, requiring new change-in-terms requirements as well as at least 21 days between delivering periodic statements and a payment due date.

    The second and third stages (that will take effect this coming February and August) require changes in many areas, from rate and fees assessments to new disclosure requirements. There are also new restrictions on marketing to college students. How will all these changes affect your institution? We'll address all the changes the Credit CARD Act contains in this webinar, and lay them out in an easy-to-understand format, so you'll know exactly what the changes are and when they're going to happen.

Organic growth results when a financial institution figures out how to better leverage three of their most valuable and under utilized assets: the markets in which the financial institution is currently doing business, its customers and contacts. To accomplish this requires strategizing, planning, training and strong management oversight to develop and install more effective prospecting and sales processes.

This web cast series is 100% relevant to today's economic climate and will show you proven strategies and processes that will help your bankers to generate new business more effectively, expand existing customer relationships more effectively and how to evolve your financial institution's culture to become more focused on business development and revenue generation.

Everyday financial institutions are required to complete transactions for customers that involve Power of Attorney or Living Trust documents.

To protect the financial institution's interests when using these documents, it is imperative to understand the basic do's and don'ts.

This two hour presentation is designed to provide financial institution personnel with the best practices that can be used in dealing with these complex legal documents.

Now that we'll be about 2 months into the major RESPA changes and a few more months into the Reg. Z changes such as the MDIA early disclosure rules and HPML rules, how are you doing?

What problems have you encountered in your operations and compliance efforts? We're not done yet, either - stage 2 of the Credit CARD Act rules are set to take effect February 22nd, and both the closed- and open-ended mortgage rules under Reg. Z are set to change soon, as well.

This session will serve as a review of the major trouble points encountered by mortgage lenders, as well as an update on things heard from mortgage lenders and regulators alike.

We'll talk about the common mistakes and misconceptions, what examiners will be looking for, and get you ready for your next mortgage lending exam.

Keeping up with changes and deadlines in the compliance area gets more complex every year. Now, we can assist you with that task.

Carl Pry, a well known and highly respected compliance expert will be presenting a monthly one-hour compliance update that will address new items to be aware of, deadlines and what's on the horizon. In a simple language webinar format that you can view from your office, Carl will make sure you have the information you need to keep your financial institution in compliance.

On August 19, 2009, the regulatory agencies proposed changes to the 2010 Call Report to assist in managing the current credit crisis and provide additional data needed to monitor for safety and soundness. 

Proposed revisions include clarification on the definition of unused commitments, reporting on Reverse Mortgages, new reporting to identify other than temporary losses on debt securities, additional reporting on brokered deposits, quarterly reporting of loans to small business and small farms, and quarterly reporting of number of deposit accounts on RC-O.

Changes were made to the 2009 Call Report as a result of the current conditions in the banking environment.  The recent extension of the $250,000 Standard Maximum Deposit Insurance Amount until 2013 will result in changes to RC-O beginning with September, 2009 Call Report.

The revisions also respond to recent accounting standards by adding items for held for investment loans acquired in business combinations and revising several schedules for financial reporting changes applicable to minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries. 

Other changes include a new annual item on a bank's fiscal year end date, exemptions from reporting certain existing call report items for banks with less than $1 billion in total assets, clarifications of "real estate secured" loans and instructional guidance on quantifying misstatements in the call report. 

There are also revisions to include new or revised items for real estate construction and development loans with capitalized leases, holdings of commercial mortgage backed securities, pledged loans, and remaining maturities of unsecured other borrowings.

Effective with the June, 2009 Call Report, banks must apply FSP FAS 115-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other Than Temporary Impairments, to debt securities.  If the fair value of a debt security is less than its amortized cost basis, an entity must assess whether the impairment is other than temporary.
