Current Fraud Trends

Scam artists are constantly discovering new ways to compromise member accounts and defraud financial institutions. Learn about today’s emerging threats so you can assess the effectiveness of your information security program and implement effective controls.

Vendor Due Diligence and Effective Vendor Management Programs

This is the NCUA hot topic for the year! Every credit union entrusts its most sensitive member information to third party vendors. You’ll examine the regulatory requirements for vendor due diligence and discover how to create an effective vendor management program.

NCUA Update

Hear from an NCUA representative about regulatory hot topics for credit unions, such as the Bank Secrecy Act, changes in rules, and examinations. You’ll discover where to focus your board and supervisory committee’s compliance priorities.

BREAKOUTS:

Evaluating Your Board and Management Team

Hardly a day goes by without news of business fraud, theft, or unethical practices. If the proper controls and oversight is in place, the misuse of power is preventable. While the supervisory committee has no requirement to evaluate your credit union’s leaders, it certainly makes sense to do so. Learn how to evaluate and report on the behavior, teamwork, independence, and effectiveness of your board and management team.

Plastic Card Fraud and Prevention

Merchant breaches continue to be problematic, so your credit union must find a balance between member security and convenience. Discover the latest trends in card fraud tactics and prevention methods. Ensure that your credit union’s card programs are protected with the right mix of security features.

Easy and Effective Audit Activities You Can Do

Take this opportunity to learn about audit activities that can have a big impact on your credit union. Even if you are not a trained auditor, there are many valuable tasks you can perform. You’ll receive handouts with detailed audit procedures and explanations, including daily activities that someone in your credit union should already be performing.

Enterprise Risk Assessments

As the basis for developing your audit plan, an enterprise risk assessment can be used to identify and prioritize the universe of risk exposures. The assessment will help you allocate limited resources to mitigate and monitor risk exposures. You’ll learn about enterprise risk assessment concepts, implementation approaches, tools, and lessons learned

Internal Security

The security requirements found in Part 748 of NCUA’s Rules and Regulations are a hot examination topic and an essential operational issue. You’ll look at all aspects of an internal security program, from pre-employment screening to monitoring of existing staff. Most security experts agree that the biggest risk of loss comes from internal fraud. You’ll learn ways to keep the bad guys out and effectively monitor staff without creating a "Big Brother" mentality.

Enterprise Risk Management

In today’s warp-speed business environment, opportunities can vanish and threats can materialize overnight. Your credit union must be able to quickly identify, assess, and respond to a myriad of challenges. Risk management must become ingrained as a way of thinking. Discover how an effective risk management program can protect the integrity of the organization, whether it be attaining strategic competitive advantage, maximizing operational efficiency, optimizing financial assets, or maintaining compliance.
