This webinar was originally presented on 3/6/2013.  Archives are available for six months after this date.

Although cases of overt discrimination are few and far apart, disparate treatment can happen inadvertently. Awareness and periodic monitoring of lending procedures can lessen the possibility of fair lending issues in your credit union.

Examiners expect credit unions to conduct ongoing fair lending comparative file reviews. Since the best offense is a strong defense, this webinar will walk you step-by-step through a comparative file review and provide worksheets and a report format to make it easier.

Continuing Education: Attendance verification for CE credits upon request
