Moorestown, NJ – August 23, 2010 – Danielle McCollian was invited to speak at the Pennsylvania Bankers Association (PBA) 2010 Lending Conference in Hershey, PA on Noverm 18th. Ms. McCollian, is ICS Compliance’s Director of Fair Lending and CRA services and a seasoned expert in such topics. She is frequently invited to speak at national and regional conferences and seminars.

In this session, Ms. McCollian will speak about fair lending risk assessments, which has been brought to the forefront of compliance examinations in the midst of the financial crisis. All of the banking regulators are consistently including comparative file reviews as part of their exams.  They also are expecting all size banks to be conducting their own fair lending risk assessments and comparative file reviews. This means that banks need to implement a process to regularly review their loan policies, underwriting criteria, and loan data to determine the lending products and customers that may be most vulnerable to discrimination and identify loan files that should be tested. In the session, we’ll describe the basic elements that should be included in a fair lending risk assessment.

Lending professionals will be in attendance to hear Ms. McCollian speak as part of this 2-day program. For more information or to register, click here.
