Monitoring the Effectiveness of Your Compliance Program: Quality Assurance Testing & Auditing

Date: Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Time: 2:00 - 3:30 pm Central

Today's credit unions are subject to myriad regulations.  Failure to comply with these regulations is costly and can cause reputational damage and penalties and impair the credit union's ability to achieve its business objectives.  Resources are limited – everything can’t be checked and rechecked. Consequently, it is vital that compliance officers conduct compliance reviews and test business activities to monitor the effectiveness of compliance policies and procedures as well as staff adherence – and do so in a cost-effective manner.
