Compliance training is a crucial task for financial services organizations to have in place. Without accurate, up-to-date information, organizations and their employees run the risk of being out of compliance which could result in fines and disciplinary action.

There have been many regulatory proposals and updates made in 2023 that will directly affect compliance training programs in 2024. During this webinar we will highlight what financial services organizations need to be aware of for several upcoming regulations including: CRA reform, Section 1033, Junk Fees and more. We will also go over the best ways organizations can implement compliance training changes to their programs, so they are prepared for the changes well before they go into effect.

Discussion will include:

• Potential regulatory changes coming in 2024
• How these changes impact compliance training
• Advice on implementing changes to be successful in 2024
