Consumer Compliance Consulting Services

Are you keeping up to date with new developments and rising regulatory expectations in consumer financial products and services?

The regulatory landscape continues to evolve, with recent actions focusing on UDAAP (Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices), Fair Lending, and more.

To keep up with today’s fast-paced and ever-changing regulatory environment, financial institutions must develop and maintain an effective compliance management system (CMS) to mitigate risks and meet regulatory expectations. A comprehensive CMS should include strong governance and oversight, written policies and procedures, compliance risk assessment, regulatory change management process, complaint management, compliance monitoring and testing, compliance training, as well as compliance auditing and corrective action tracking.

However, many financial institutions lack the resources needed to employ an effective CMS program.

That is where we can help. Our highly trained and experienced team has the expertise and resources to help you effectively address consumer compliance requirements and mitigate the risk of non-compliance.
