Compliance Training Program

Compliance Management School (CMS)

Program Overview
The Compliance Management School (CMS) is the final school attended by pre-commissioned compliance examiners prior to participating in the commissioning process.  Participants are required to analyze a case study bank’s prior examinations findings, its policies, practices and procedures, and relevant documentation to evaluate all facets of the bank’s Compliance Management System.  Using perception, judgment, and decision making skills each participant is responsible for determining the condition of each element of the bank’s Compliance Management System, assigning an appropriate overall examination rating, and providing written support for their conclusions.  Participants complete and receive individual feedback for several exam-related activities including a Risk Profile and Scope Memorandum, a consultation memo, a Report of Examination, and an Exit Meeting.

Key Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Analyze information to determine a bank’s compliance with a variety of rules and regulations.
  • Draw meaningful conclusions.
  • Evaluate a case study institution’s compliance management system.
  • Support conclusions verbally and in writing.

Duration
This is a three-week course.

Level
Intermediate

Target Audience
This course is designed for pre-commissioned compliance examiners who generally have 18 to 24 months of experience in compliance examinations after entering the compliance discipline. There should be a minimum of four months after attending Community Reinvestment Act School.

Prerequisites
Prior to attending the Compliance Management School participants must have satisfactorily completed the Fair Lending School and the Community Reinvestment Act School.  Additionally, participants must have satisfactorily completed two acting examiner-in-charge assignments in accordance with the Acting EIC lesson plan contained in the Compliance OJT Reference Guide.

Pre-Course Assignment
The assignment requires completing pre-exam planning (analyzing data received from a bank based on a CIDR request, reviewing past exam reports, reviewing correspondence file information, and reviewing the bank’s case report) and preparing a Risk Profile and Scoping Memorandum for the case study bank.  Thorough knowledge of all bank and prior exam related information contained in the precourse materials is essential for success in the course.

Official Time
The Division of Depositor and Consumer Protection (DCP) has authorized 40 hours of official time to complete the pre-course assignment.

Post-Course Recommendation
Participants should be scheduled to perform an acting Examiner in Charge assignment as soon as possible after completing this course to reinforce the skills acquired.

Post-Course Feedback
Participant Evaluation Forms, which provide comprehensive analysis for each of the critiqued assignments during the school are sent to the participant's supervisor approximately thirty days after the conclusion of the school.  Additionally, participants receive feedback on their written products from a writing professional associated with the school; this feedback is also provided to the supervisor.
