Fair Lending Audit – Seeing the Forest for the Trees
In this new ABA Bank Compliance article, Fair Lending Audit – Seeing the Forest for the Trees, Liza Warner discusses how a fair lending internal audit helps an institution gain a clear and objective understanding of fair lending compliance risk. As a key area of regulatory scrutiny, and one that garners a lot of public attention, financial institutions must proactively manage fair lending risk exposure. This can be challenging because the requirements and principles touch all aspects of the lending process and require attention, not just to the trees – the technical regulatory details, processes, systems, and data, but to the forest – the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of its employees.
