September 2025
With ongoing economic uncertainty and shifting priorities at the CFPB, mortgage lenders are facing increased pressure to stay informed and compliant. Now more than ever, it’s essential to understand the latest legal and regulatory developments to protect your institution’s profitability and loan portfolio.
Join us for BCG’s Mortgage Lending Compliance Seminar, where we will cover critical updates in federal and California-specific mortgage laws. This seminar will provide practical guidance on how to originate and service loans in compliance with evolving regulations. Topics will include the SAFE Act, HMDA (who’s covered and what are some of the common violations), TILA/RESPA mortgage servicing rules, the flood insurance regulations and a survey of relevant California laws. This Seminar is ideal for both newcomers to mortgage lending and seasoned compliance professionals seeking a refresher or update. Whether you're looking to build a strong foundation or sharpen your existing knowledge, this session is designed for you.
October 2025
Aldrich & Bonnefin is pleased to invite you to attend our full-day Bank Secrecy Act Compliance Seminar. Our discussion will include the status of the various beneficial ownership information (BOI) rules as they pertain to covered reporting companies, access to BOI reported to FinCEN and the continuing obligation of financial institutions to collect BOI at account opening.
We will go through the recent FinCEN and federal banking agencies exemption order providing relief from the requirement that banks obtain TIN information directly from a customer prior to opening an account.
During this Seminar, we will also cover in detail customer due diligence (CDD) expectations with a focus on providing services to high-risk customers, including the need to apply a risk-based approach to assess customer relationships.
Finally, we will discuss recent BSA developments, such as BSA enforcement actions, that may impact on the BSA compliance activities of financial institutions.
November 2025
Aldrich & Bonnefin is pleased to invite the compliance staff and business line managers of your financial institution to take a fresh look at your Compliance Management System (CMS) and reassess what’s working and what’s not. This Seminar will focus on structuring an effective, risk-based CMS specifically for financial institutions and implementing the program’s objectives. There will be case studies to make the Seminar of immediate practical value to all who attend.
With ever-present regulatory scrutiny and civil litigation against financial institutions, as well as the need to implement ever-changing regulations, attention must be paid to systems and procedures for compliance with federal and state laws and regulations. Without a structured compliance program, compliance dollars can be wasted and an institution’s ability to comply can be dramatically diminished. Without a formal compliance program, an institution is exposed to the risk of liability to shareholders, customers and regulators alike. In contrast, having a strong, well-managed compliance program can help mitigate occasional violations that inevitably occur.
