It’s more important than ever to have a culture of compliance. State regulators are increasingly enforcing consumer protection and cybersecurity laws, while the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau continues its oversight of the industry. Former CFPB Deputy Director Brian Johnson, and former Assistant Director, Tony Alexis, will share their CFPB viewpoint. Followed by Hunter Wiggins, former Principal Deputy Enforcement Director at the CFPB sharing the state regulator perspective.

Together they will help navigate your compliance concerns with state and federal regulators and speak to the 2021 trends. It is important to learn:

  • When to connect with the appropriate departments
  • Which department is charged with oversight
  • To provide is accurate, relevant information
  • The best way to engage regulators
  • To be responsive to their guidance
  • Expected CFPB priorities

Hear what some attendees had to say...

"I found this presentation to be very helpful and informative."

"This was a great topic that has been possibly swept under the rug for a while and may be a huge factor across the country in the coming year(s)."
