Webinar: Five Reasons to Prepare for 1071 Rules: Small Business Reporting for Women & Minority Owned Businesses
“On September 1, 2021, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB or Bureau) issued a proposed rule (1071 Rule) that, when finalized, would require financial institutions to collect and report to the Bureau certain data regarding certain small business credit applications. The Bureau is statutorily mandated under Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act to direct financial institutions to collect and report many of these data points, but the Bureau has used its discretion to require the collection and reporting of several more data points that are not explicitly mandated under law.”
The CFPB has promised the final rules by March 31, 2023; mandatory compliance will follow in 18 months.
Link to 1071 Rule. Link to Summary of Proposed Rule from CFPB. Click here for webinar details.
Plus, we will offer a webinar on June 12--Section 1071: Developing a Data Collection Process Under the Final Rules.
