HMDA has morphed throughout its history to its current requirement of 110 total data fields. How your institution handles HMDA data reporting, sometimes without sophisticated software tools, impacts your success across several high-risk compliance categories, including the Community Reinvestment Act and Fair Lending.
August 26th, 2025
11:00am - 1:30pm EST
Join us for this special 2.5-hour workshop for community banks to explore the requirements and the environment for HMDA reporting and accuracy. This means varying degrees of automation may be utilized. This session will include breakout rooms where you will get the opportunity to collaborate with peers, as well as our industry expert, Lauren Sparks. Space is limited, and live attendance is a must for this high-value learning experience!
One of the best ways to master this area is to learn from others, whether to see errors and build foolproof controls around them, or to hear about best practices you might adopt for yourself. We will be in search of the “root cause” for reporting problems.
Examples of HMDA internal controls will be outlined. Finally, we will break into groups to explore the operationalizing of compliance and best practices at your institution. Limited spots available! Let’s get it right!
