The 2022 FDIC Community Bankers Workshop is an interactive seminar designed to help bank executive and mid-level officers, both new and experienced, stay abreast of the ever-changing business, economic, and regulatory environment. The workshop will be led by seasoned risk management and compliance field examiners and supervisors from the San Francisco Region.

This year, the workshop will emphasize cybersecurity, technology innovations, and various lessons learned from the pandemic. We will also cover other topics as noted below. Additionally, in Utah, Arizona, and Southern California, where we have noted an increase in de novo bank activity, we have added two additional breakout sessions tailored for new directors. To the extent that you have new board members, you may wish to send them to one of these three locations. The workshop will also include a local economic update presented by the FDIC’s Division of Insurance and Research. Below, you will find a description of sessions that we will hold throughout the Region.

  • Compliance/CRA Hot Topics: Consumer Protection and Compliance. This session will include important areas and hot topics such as the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) Section 8, Flood Insurance regulations, and Third Party considerations; how to appropriately manage your Compliance Management System (CMS); and the latest in the area of the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). Target Audience: Compliance Officers

  • Corporate Governance: Safety starts in the boardroom. This session explores the three pillars of corporate governance and the directors’ role in building a strong internal control structure. Most bank performance problems and operational weaknesses are due to ineffective controls and could be avoided with strong corporate governance techniques. You will learn some red flags that tell you whether your institution is at risk, and we will introduce you to some effective management tools that can enhance your supervision of the bank. Target Audience: New Directors

The final portion of the session will include a tabletop exercise focusing on a mock ransomware incident at a bank and the different roles and responsibilities of directors, officers, and information technology (IT) personnel. Target Audience: Directors, Officers, IT Managers
