Speakers & Topics :

• Fair Lending for Financial Institutions
  This session will cover the fair lending risks an institution experiences throughout the loan lifecycle. The focus is fair lending risks from the moment you receive an application, to the underwriting and pricing decision, and everything in between. We will cover many real-world scenarios and case studies, so you walk away with real takeaways on strengthening your fair lending program.
  • Tory Haggerty, President, Tuscan Club Consulting

• Compliance Culture and Ethics
  This session will cover how compliance connects to ERM and how effective compliance management makes compliance a strategic partner, not just a cost center. This includes real examples of ways to align compliance with strategic initiatives. As part of that, we will cover how to review the program’s maturity based on not only the requirements of CMS but how those components are working within your institution. Compliance ethics will cover creating and cultivating a culture of compliance and will include some real-life examples of issues that resulted from a lack of compliance culture and ways to implement a culture of compliance.
  • Karen Cullen, EVP Legal, Risk, and Compliance, Landmark Credit Union
  • Lisa Roherty, Senior Compliance Manager Advisory, Landmark Credit Union

• Regulatory Landscape from a State Perspective
  As federal oversight evolves, state regulators are playing an increasingly prominent role in shaping the compliance environment. This panel will examine the regulatory landscape from a state perspective, focusing on areas where state laws diverge from or exceed federal requirements. Discussion will include managing state-specific consumer compliance obligations, interchange fees, preemption, and the impact of state action in the context of potential CFPB rollbacks. Panelists will also address legal change management and risk assessment strategies to help banks, credit unions, and fintechs effectively anticipate and adapt to shifting state regulatory demands.
  • Vaishali Rao, Partner, Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP
  • Akeela White, Partner, Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP
  • Joe Sanders, Partner, Hinshaw & Culbertson, LLP

• BSA/AML/CFT Hot Topics

  • Joe Silvia, Partner, Duane Morris
  • Alex Ziegler, Financial Crime Technology Manager, Crowe

• Reg E: Evolving Technology vs. Stagnant Regulatory Language
  As consumer convenience services continue to evolve in complexity, the opportunity for fraud has increased along with it. Social engineering, phishing, “friendly” fraud, and a host of ways that consumer access devices are compromised often leaves the financial institution holding the bag for losses under Regulation E. Questions often arise from Management. When can we hold the customer liable? What about negligent circumstances? What do we do when the customer sends virtual currency to the fraudsters?” Applying 1978 regulatory language to 2025 convenience transactions is tricky. A careful read of the definition of “unauthorized” in the regulation along with guidance from regulatory agencies can aid in navigating these uncharted waters. In this session we will examine several case studies of fraud and other types of disputes we may receive to help the operations and compliance team walk the fine line between compliance and financial risk.
  • Brian Crow, Managing Partner and Co-President, TCA Compliance

• Unclaimed Property: Banking on Compliance
  Explore best practices for navigating the unique complexities of unclaimed property compliance in the banking sector. Learn how to identify potential unclaimed property, streamline the reporting process and implement internal controls specifically tailored to financial institutions.
  • Troy Wangen, Principal, Baker Tilly
