Upcoming Webinars
Commercial Capital Lines of Credit Web Seminar
April 8 • 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
Learn how to establish and effectively operate revolving lines of credit in a demanding and competitive commercial credit marketplace. The purpose of this new webinar is to develop better understanding and focus on the necessary disciplines required to establish and effectively operate revolving lines of credit in a demanding and competitive commercial credit marketplace.
The program has been designed to appeal to new and experienced loan officers, credit analysts, loan review and loan administration personnel. Key lending and administration principles will be emphasized along with guidance on how to implement “real world” risk management administration and monitoring procedures. The seminar will also challenge bankers to consider whether existing practices related to working capital lines of credit provide adequate risk management and whether today’s highly competitive commercial loan market is causing banks to inappropriately lower credit standards.
Frequent Mistakes in Lending Compliance Web Seminar
April 10 • 1:30 – 3:30 p.m.
A fast-paced, light-hearted seminar designed to help lenders improve compliance knowledge and avoid the wrath of compliance officers. This seminar has been developed out of necessity. Regulatory compliance is an area of significant potential risk for your bank and for each lender individually. However, lenders may take a somewhat “cavalier” attitude and perspective regarding a wide variety of compliance issues.
This fast-paced and fun seminar presents up-to-date information and requirements on a variety of difficult compliance issues. Topics for discussion have been chosen from regulatory reports, questions frequently asked in seminars and the instructor’s nationwide teaching experience. Opportunity for questions and answers will be provided. This program will not present an in-depth, exhaustive discussion of each regulation. Rather, it targets the areas where mistakes most frequently occur.
