Significant questions swirl around just how the federal government plans to enforce the multitude of provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. For instance, the controversial Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has been the subject of speculation as to its reach, its responsibilities, and its powers. Several other new and previously existing enforcement agencies and offices have either been tweaked or wholly reconstituted with powers that will affect every aspect of the financial services industry and the governance and executive compensation structures at corporations.
This webcast, which features attorneys with a great deal of experience in these issues, will explore these new enforcement and governance practices. They will also examine the CFPB in detail. Among the topics of discussion:
- When will the CFPB go live?
- What firms will be examined by CFPB and what enforcement powers does the agency have?
- What are unfair, deceptive, and abusive acts and practices, and how will the agency regulate them?
- New regulatory powers and new areas of enforcement
- The enforcement role for State Attorneys General
- What is left of federal preemption for national banks and federal thrifts?
- New mortgage underwriting standards and risk retention
- New governance, proxy, and executive compensation requirements
This program is one of a three-part series on the financial services reform package. Other webcasts in this series are: Regulating Bank Holding Companies, Non Banking Companies, and Financial Markets and The New Regulation of Banks & Non-banks.
