The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Justice and other regulators have stepped up their pursuit of fair lending violation, bringing more than a dozen actions and levying hundreds of millions of dollars in fines. And now the CFPB has proposed significantly expanding the data it collects under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act, one of the primary tools used for sniffing out possible fair lending cases.

The CFPB’s HMDA proposal would greatly expand the amount of data, number of reporters and risk associated with this crucial fair lending investigation tool. It would nearly double the data points that must be provided, including much more underwriting detail. It would expand the types of loans covered, adding reverse mortgages and home-equity lines of credit. It would require more reporting by nonbanks as any lender making 25 or more loans per year would have to file. And it would increase the frequency of reporting for the largest lenders, requiring them to file quarterly rather than annually.

If you add in the expanded HMDA data collection and increased regulatory scrutiny to an already tight mortgage underwriting environment, the risk of running afoul of fair lending laws has never been greater. Learn what you can do to manage your fair lending risk at a new webinar from Inside Mortgage Finance. “Defusing Fair Lending Risk and the HMDA Data Expansion” will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 10, at 2:30 pm ET.

You’ll hear from:

  • Melanie Brody, Partner, K&L Gates
  • Marsha Courchane, Vice President and Practice Leader, Charles River Associates
  • R. Colgate Selden, Counsel, Alston & Bird
  • Warren Traiger, Counsel, BuckleySandler

During the 90-minute webinar, we’ll look into:

  • What do recent fair lending actions tell you about your potential risk?
  • Does the use of tough underwriting expose you to fair lending charges?
  • How is the HMDA data expansion likely to affect fair lending enforcement?
  • What changes should you be making to systems, operations and staff training?
  • What data analysis should you be conducting on your own?
  • What data should you be looking at beyond what is required for HMDA reporting?
  • If your own data analysis uncovers a potential problem, what can and should you do?
  • What is the role of your compliance management system, consumer complaints and risk assessments?
  • Should you also be monitoring for fair lending issues in your servicing business?
  • What are the risks of reporting incorrect data?

Know your fair lending exposure and how to limit it.
