The GBA Compliance School is a two-year program designed to give new and experienced compliance pros the tools necessary to build, monitor, and maintain an effective compliance program. While the world of bank compliance may be quiet at times, it always evolves. Our purpose is to keep feeding industry professionals the essentials they need to identify risks and mitigate them, while at the same time building partnerships with all business lines within the organization. This is accomplished by teaching compliance as well as leadership skills.
Who should attend (Hint: It’s more than just compliance officers!)
Compliance officers as well as anyone who has compliance responsibilities as a component of their job (loan compliance, deposit compliance, operational compliance, BSA compliance). The school will equip them with the knowledge necessary to evolve their skill so they can add value to their institution.
Year 1 – Building the Base
Every structurally sound building begins with a strong foundation. Year 1 of the GBA Compliance School examines the fundamentals required to ensure a solid compliance management program. Whether you’re new to bank compliance or have been in the profession for years, this training will allow you to examine your program to make sure there are no cracks in the compliance monitoring foundation. Just as with your home, routine maintenance is needed to ensure the structure can weather even the fiercest of storms.
Year 2 – Strategic Compliance Management
Year 2 - Strategic Compliance Management builds on the student’s basic foundation by providing more practical applications for overseeing individual lending, deposit and operational regulations as well as your overall compliance management program. The foundation has been inspected, maintained and determined to be solid; now what do you do? In the second year of the GBA Compliance School, we demonstrate how to maintain an ongoing, proactive compliance management program and provide additional tools to help you protect your bank against potential storms. These survival tools are not always found in the regulations, but rather in the resources employed to carry out the tasks.
Both years spend time focusing on leadership, team building and maintaining strong peer relationships, which help to strengthen the bank’s compliance management program and create cohesion throughout the organization. These concepts teach compliance professionals how to better understand their organization’s business lines and provide a guide to creating successful partnerships that benefit the entire organization.
