WEBINAR DETAILS
The Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which is
implemented by Regulation B, is the primary rule of law that prohibits lenders
from discriminating against a consumer based on race, color, religion, sex,
marital status, age, or the receipt of public assistance. For many years,
regulators and the courts have permitted the use of disparate impact analysis
to prove discrimination, which means that your institution can be found liable
for discrimination even if there was no intent to discriminate. Many
institutions have reported that regulators are using statistical analysis and
unpublished analytical formulas in their fair lending exams, some of which have
resulted in “false positive” findings of disparate treatment. This webinar will
help you prepare for your next fair lending exam and suggest ways to defend
against disparate impact and discrimination claims.
