OK, maybe not the camera, but it's definitely time for action – training action!! Does your bank have an effective compliance training program for your employees AND for your directors? If not, it's time to get started and we are going to help!
Many banks use online or web-based basic compliance training for employees, choosing an assortment of topics, based on an employee's job description. So how do you teach them about your bank's policies and procedures? No, there is nothing wrong with using online or web-based training, BUT it should be paired with some good, old-fashioned classroom training. At our February meeting we will be walking through an effective compliance training program that you can implement at your bank.
Now we have talked about employee training, but what about director training? We know that sometimes directors don't want to take time to watch a video or even read about regulations, but directors have a responsibility to provide oversight of a bank's compliance program, and they cannot do this effectively without at least a basic knowledge of the regulatory requirements. So we will be providing you with some easy, painless guidance on how to do this.
And of course all of this needs to be well-documented! Practical guidance and tools for success. Get ready to learn!
