Today's post seeks to aggregate some useful compliance resources. 

NCUA Listening Session.  The first of NCUA's six listening sessions is today in Boston.  Registration for all sessions is now available here.  

NAFCU Members.  The May 2012 NAFCU Compliance Monitor is now available.  This month the articles look at the CFPB's movements in mortgage servicing as well as third-party service providers.  For those who missed the April 2012 BSA Blast, it is available here.    

Both the Compliance Monitor and the BSA Blast are NAFCU-member publications.  If your credit union is interested in NAFCU membership, check out our trial membership program.  Additional member benefits are discussed here.  

If you are a NAFCU-member and would like to be added to the Compliance Monitor and BSA Blast email notification lists, just send us an email - compliance@nafcu.org.

Vendor Risk Management Webinar.  The Philadelphia Federal Reserve is hosting a free Risk Management Webinar today at 2:00 Eastern.  The slides are already up and available here.  

FinCEN Webinar.  FinCEN will be hosting a free May 8th webinar discussing the technical specifications of the new SAR, CTR and DOEP forms.  Registration is here.   

Note:  This webinar promises to be very, very technical and geared toward IT folks.  Be sure to pass this along to anyone at your CU who fits the bill.  FinCEN will be conducting a future webinar for compliance professionals. 

CU Online Upgrade Webinar.  NCUA recently announced an upcoming upgrade to CU Online.  The upgrade is scheduled for May 28th and NCUA is hosting a free May 15th webinar discussing the upgrade.  Registration is here.

NAFCU Webcasts.  We also have a series of upcoming webcasts that might be of interest:

• May 9th:  Essential Financial Literacy Education (Sign up today and save $100)
• May 17th:  IRA Compliance: Managing a Successful IRA Program
• May 24th:  An Inside Look at NCUA's Interest Rate Risk Rule

Remember, all NAFCU webcasts are available for one-year after the purchase date and can be viewed numerous times.  The Financial Literacy webcast is a good example.  Not many credit union Boards meet at 2:00 p.m. on a Wednesday - but your credit union can use the webcast at a Board meeting or training session by accessing the "on-demand" version. 

All NAFCU webcasts are listed here (both upcoming live webcasts and on-demand webcasts).
