Revisions to the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income
As part of their ongoing efforts to ease reporting requirements and lessen reporting burden, particularly for small institutions, the federal banking agencies, under the auspices of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), have finalized additional burden-reducing revisions that will be made to all three versions of the Call Report effective June 30, 2018. Call Report revisions to address changes in the accounting for equity securities and other equity investments will take effect March 31, 2018. These revised Call Report requirements, which were issued for comment in June 2017, are subject to approval by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget. Read the Financial Institution Letter.

With Dodd-Frank relief near, banks set sights on AML
The Dodd-Frank Act gets more attention when it comes to regulatory burden, but the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money-laundering statutes arguably present even more of a compliance challenge for bankers. While Congress is close to a regulatory relief bill directed at changing Dodd-Frank, bankers are hopeful that lawmakers will next turn their attention to anti-laundering issues.
“It always comes up as probably top two or three issues that bankers raise when they talk about stressful compliance burden, cost compliance burden,” said Paul Merski, executive vice president of congressional relations at the Independent Community Bankers of America. The Bank Secrecy Act “is probably in the top three.” Read more from American Banker.

HMDA: Statement on Institutions' Good Faith Compliance Efforts
The FDIC is issuing a statement regarding the evaluation of financial institutions' compliance with the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA), implemented by Regulation C. Specifically, for HMDA data collected in 2018 and reported in 2019, the FDIC does not intend to require data resubmission unless data errors are material. In addition, the FDIC does not intend to assess penalties with respect to errors in data collected in 2018 and reported in 2019. Through this supervisory approach, FDIC examination staff will give credit to institutions' good faith compliance efforts, and the approach will help institutions identify compliance weaknesses.

Identifying Procedural Changes to Prepare for CECL
While most non-public business entities aren’t required to implement the current expected credit loss (CECL) model for the allowance for loan and lease losses (ALLL) until after December 15, 2020, many institutions have begun the transition to ensure effective implementation of this major change in estimating losses. An actionable step banks can take to prepare for CECL is to identify how the new model will require modifications to ALLL procedures and mapping out sequencing and ownership. Read the full article to find out some reasonable steps you can take right now. Guest article from CBA Associate member Sageworks.

However, banking as a whole is facing a number of pressures that are already reshaping the industry – and by all indications, the rate of change is accelerating. Read the full article.

The Customer Experience Journey
Lisa Beck | Owner, Enthusias | Birmingham, AL
What customers expect from their financial institution is rapidly changing. Are you keeping up? In this session, we will walk through the five stages of the customer journey: attract/connect, educate, purchase, serve/retain, advocate, and mapping out how your institution currently interacts with customers and prospective customers. Once an understanding of the journey is mapped, we will delve into best practices, ideas and concepts of how to improve the customer journey at your institution. When you have a strong relationship and customer experience model, the ROI is clear – customers stay longer and are more engaged as brand advocates for your institution. And, at the end of the day, having advocates that are influencers increases brand loyalty and ultimately the financial performance of your institution.
