We are in the beginning stages of a significant transition for the primary rule maker for credit unions - the CFPB. We explore how this impacts credit union compliance efforts and the fallout for boots-on-the-ground examinations. We will point out several compliance areas examiners are focusing on and how credit unions can best position themselves to have successful exams. We also tackle compliance issues that are targets for lawsuits and enforcement actions.
