You Received a BSA Exam Request Memo, Now What?

Presenter: Ann Brode, Brode Consulting Services, Inc.
Date: Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Time: 2:00 - 3:30 pm Central

Focus:
You just received your BSA exam request memo.  What’s the next step?  Preparing for your next BSA exam is an ongoing process that begins well before the exam letter arrives.  Once you do receive it, the first thing most BSA officers notice is that it’s quite long.  This webinar will focus on how to address each item by turning the exam request memo into a checklist that guides you in putting together just what the examiners want.  In addition, examiners’ “hot buttons” and other BSA officers’ experiences will be covered.

Helpful Tool: The participant manual will be provided in MS Word so credit unions can easily utilize the sample language to either develop or fine-tune current policy and procedures.

What You Will Learn

  • Step One: Dissect the request letter into groupings by department
  • Step Two: Enlist help and delegate responsibility.  Because BSA is an institution-wide exam, it will involve work papers from every department.
  • Step Three: Reorganize the information for submission
  • Step Four: Additional steps that will keep examiners happy
  • Step Five: Learn from other BSA officers’ experience during exams
