Barbara
Boccia
, CRCM, Senior Director for Advisory Services and Regulatory
Relations in Wolters
Kluwer’s Compliance Solutions business
, will speak on “Leading
Indicators for UDAAP Risk: Being Customer-Centric without Compliance
Compromise”
at the 2019
American Bankers Association Regulatory Compliance Conference
, June
9-12 at the Hyatt Regency in downtown New Orleans.

UDAAP (Unfair, Deceptive or Abusive Acts or Practices) is a topic of
increasing importance to financial institutions as well as to
regulators. Boccia will present at 3:15-4:30 p.m. Sunday, June 9 and
again at 10:15-11:30 a.m. Monday, June 10. She will be joined by Wells
Fargo’s Emily Porath, CRCM, Vice President, Operational Risk, UDAAP
Program Office to offer a bank’s front-line perspectives.

“Compliance with UDAAP principles is a complicated matter for most
financial institutions, large or small,” says Boccia. “The regulations
are broadly defined and fairly subjective in interpretation, especially
when applied by regulators with the benefit of hindsight. However, the
increasing complexity of financial products and services, along with a
myriad of communication and delivery methods, has made the UDAAP
compliance task altogether more daunting.”

The conference session will provide insights in helping banks identify
UDAAP risks, and offer practical guidance for mitigating those risks
through a comprehensive UDAAP risk assessment that is part of a bank’s Compliance
Management System
(CMS).

Boccia will also moderate a conference panel discussion, “When Change
is Driving the Future, Keep Compliance at the Wheel
, featuring
several regulatory compliance colleagues in a breakfast session Tuesday,
June 11 from 7:30-8:30 a.m. The session will provide guidance on how
banks may adapt their compliance management strategies to address
evolving factors impacting the regulatory landscape:

  • Agile and scalable approaches to regulatory
    change
    management
  • Practical applications of Artificial Intelligence, FinTech
    and RegTech
  • Adapting Compliance Management Systems for regulatory and technology
    changes
