The New GBA Compliance School - Purpose and Philosophy
The newly re-designed GBA Compliance School is a two-year program. The purpose of the GBA Compliance School is to provide new as well as seasoned compliance professionals in all areas throughout the organization with the tools necessary to build, monitor, and maintain an effective compliance program. While the world of bank regulatory compliance may be quiet at times, it is still evolving and subject to regulatory scrutiny. Our purpose is to keep feeding industry professionals with 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 not only teaching compliance but also leadership skills.
Year 1 – Building the Base
Every structurally sound building begins with a strong foundation. Year 1 of Compliance School will examine the fundamentals required to ensure a solid Compliance Management Program. Whether new to compliance or have been in the profession for years, this program will allow you to examine your program to make certain there are no cracks in the compliance monitoring foundation. Just like every house, routine maintenance is needed to ensure that the structure can weather even the fiercest of storms.
Year 2 – Strategic Compliance Management
The foundation has been inspected, maintained, and determined to be solid; now what do you do? In the second year of compliance school, we will demonstrate how to maintain an on-going, proactive Compliance Management Program and provide additional tools to put in your toolbox that will help to protect against the potential storms. These survival tools are not always found in the regulation, but rather in the resources employed to carry out the tasks.
Both years will spend time focusing on leadership, team building, and maintaining strong peer relationships which will help to strengthen the program and create cohesion throughout the organization. These concepts will teach compliance personnel how to better understand their organization’s business lines and provide a guide to creating successful partnerships that benefit the entire organization.
