This and That: Power of Attorney; Current Issues; Disaster Recovery; Newsletters

Written by Steve Van Beek

With all the regulatory proposals, final rules, hearings, actions by the CFPB and other happenings, I thought we'd slow it down a bit for Friday.  Below are just a few links that might be useful.

Power of Attorney.  Andy Keeney had a great article in the CU Times discussing issues to consider when reviewing and accepting a Power of Attorney from a member.

Current Issues in Credit Unions.  The latest podcast (Episode 67!!!) features discussion on writing comment letters, TDRs, loan participations and more.

Webcast on Disaster Recovery.  On Wednesday, February 8th, NAFCU will have a webcast on Disaster Recovery Plans featuring Rob Rutkowski (who you may recognize from the Current Issues podcasts).

February 2012 Compliance Monitor.  The latest issue of the Compliance Monitor is available for NAFCU-members.  This month, the articles focus on the loan participation and Reg Flex proposed rules as well as a brief recap of the rules issued at the tail end of January.  

BSA Blast.  The January 2012 issue of the BSA Blast (which is quarterly) is also available.  As usual, the Blast is followed by a BSA Quiz - with answer sheet - that serves as a useful training tool for staff.

In case you were wondering who a Detroit Lions fan was rooting for on Sunday - I gotta go with Tom Brady (University of Michigan) and the Patriots.  Have a great weekend everyone!    Â
