Commercial Lending Basics: Risks, Scrutiny, Safeguards, Collateral, & More

Each commercial loan is unique. Who are the parties to the loan and who is authorized or required to sign which documents? What about security interests on different types of collateral, like marketable securities, deposit accounts, life insurance policies, equipment and inventory, contracts or receivables, leases, etc.? Attend this illuminating webinar to get your commercial lending skills on solid ground.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

  • Identify parties to the loan
  • Use your loan policy to “drive” when offering, underwriting, and monitoring a loan
  • Understand loan agreement covenants – beyond boilerplate language
  • Perfect your security interest
  • Review title insurance policies and identify notable endorsements and exceptions
  • Detail subordination agreements, when to get them, what is being subordinated (repayment priority, lien position), and when to ask for subordination of loans to shareholders
  • Document commercial construction loans, realizing that a general liability policy does not cover a subcontractor’s faulty workmanship
  • Understand compliance requirements and commercial lending hot spots

WEBINAR DETAILS
Commercial loans don’t always follow a “normal” pattern. Each one is unique. These loans carry the most risk and technical requirements and therefore receive enhanced scrutiny from examiners. This program will provide a better understanding of protections and safeguards that need to be put in place when drafting a loan. It will review the documentation for a commercial loan, including collateral security documents. You’ll learn underwriting best practices and how to avoid hazards. This must-attend webinar is for new commercial lenders or current lenders and operations staff seeking to build a strong foundation in commercial loan documentation and compliance.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This informative session is designed for commercial lenders, loan operations staff, loan review staff, and auditors.

TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT

  • Commercial loan documentation checklist
  • Commercial real estate documentation checklist
  • Employee training log
  • Interactive quiz
  • PDF of slides and speaker’s contact info for follow-up questions

Financial Statement Mapping

Financial statements and tax returns are the foundation for understanding the financial condition of businesses and other economic entities. This foundation must be understood by anyone who is responsible for analyzing them to make a loan decision or manage credit risks posed by the lending function of the financial institution.

Economic events will typically start through an entry onto the income statement and the results of that event will find its way to the balance sheet. In other words, whatever occurs on the income statement will end up on the balance sheet. For example, if cash is not collected at the point of sales or an obligation is not settled at the point of incurrence, it will flow to the balance sheet either as an asset, liability or net worth account. There are other economic activities that will be reflected on the balance sheet without first going through the income statement.

Understanding the relationship between the balance sheet and the income statement will enhance an analyst knowledge of why certain items from the income statement and the balance sheet are matched mathematically in a ratio calculation to determine a company’s liquidity, leverage, asset management capabilities, and operating performance. It will also provide the secrets to understanding how a financial statement prepared on an accrual basis is converted into a cash basis financial statement to determine the amount of cash generated or used by an economic entity.

What You’ll Learn

  • Have a better understanding of the income statement and the balance sheet
  • Understand the flow of data from the income statement and other sources and how it will affect the balance sheet
  • Understand the relationship between the income statement and balance sheet and how they are used to calculate financial / credit ratios and cash flow
  • Understand the meaning of the accounts found on a typical income statement and balance sheet
  • Know the types of economic transactions that will not flow through the income statement but will affect the balance sheet

Who Should Attend
Anyone involved in credit analysis or review including, but not limited to Senior Lending Officers, Senior Credit Officers, Chief Financial Officer, Board of Directors, Consumer Lenders, Commercial Lenders, Credit Analysts, Loan Review Personnel, Credit Administration Personnel, and Auditors.

1071 Small Business Lending Data Collection: What Have We Learned Thus Far?

It’s been about six months since the CFPB dropped its Final Rule for the Small Business Lending Data Collection requirements (Section 1071). Preparing to comply with this Rule will require a lot of planning, training and procedural updates within your institution. You will first need to determine if you are a covered institution and then which of the mandatory compliance dates apply to your institution. The next step is diving into the actual data you will need to collect and report.

The CFPB’s Final Rule amends Regulation B to bring Section 1071 of The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) to fruition. The Dodd-Frank Act was passed way back in 2010 and it called for changes to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) with respect to collecting and reporting certain data on small business credit applications, including those that are minority-owned and women-owned. It also calls for safeguarding the data, shielding it from certain persons within the loan process, recordkeeping requirements and more.

Come see what we’ve uncovered in the last six months and let us bring you plain English solutions!

What You’ll Learn

  • Does the ECOA Rule Apply to Your Financial Institution?
  • Covered Applications, Transactions & Exclusions in Detail
  • What is a Small Business?
  • Detailed Breakdown of the Required Data
  • Recommendations for Your CMS, Change Management & Action Plan
  • Effective Dates & Mandatory Compliance Dates
  • Your Questions, Plain English Answers & Much More!

Who Should Attend?

This webinar is designed for management, loan officers, loan processors, compliance, audit and loan operations personnel.

The Collusion of Fair Lending, CRA and Small Business Data Collection, and Reporting (Section 1071)

For the past decade, there has been a constant stream of enforcement actions against financial institutions for engaging in redlining. Redlining occurs when financial institution practices result in the restriction of lending in a particular geographic area, quite frequently a low-income or a high-minority population area. Redlining is:

  • Usually cited as a fair lending violation
  • Frequently listed as a weakness in a Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) management system
  • Quite often listed as both a fair lending and a CRA concern
  • Now there is Small Business Data Reporting
  • Fair lending laws, the Equal Credit Opportunity, and Fair Housing Acts, prohibit illegal discrimination on a prohibited basis. CRA deals with income disparities, requiring financial institutions to meet the needs of their entire community, including low- and moderate-income areas. For years, both CRA and HMDA regulations have provided the data needed to test financial institutions on how well they do in meeting the needs of those they serve.

On March 30, 2023, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published an 888-page final rule to implement Section 1071 of the Dodd-Frank Act. That section amends the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) to require financial institutions to collect and report certain data in connection with credit applications made by women, minorities, and/or LGBTQI+ owned businesses and small businesses.

The effective date is 90-days after publication in Federal Register

Compliance dates are tiered based on transaction volumes. The first tier will be required to report on October 1, 2024, and the final compliance date for tier 3 is January 1, 2026 The combination of these critical regulations will bring to light issues in lending policies and will highlight a lack of lending in certain areas which is a direct link to Redlining. The financial institutions that fail to meet the credit needs of its selected assessment area are a target of special interest groups. The populations of the redlined areas are often high minority (fair lending) and low income (CRA). That is the collision of fair lending and CRA. What will the future bring with the passing of Small Business Data Collection 1071 regulations?

What You’ll Learn

  • The umbrella of laws and regulations that make up fair lending
  • The proposed regulations for CRA and the intersection with fair lending
  • Steps to detect potential redlining and actions to take to minimize problems
  • The public data collection requirements, the annual reporting requirements, and what the data will say about your institution
  • The concept of Reasonable Expected Marketing Area and its impact on fair lending, CRA, and Section 1071
  • The issues present in recent cases, the penalties imposed on each institution and the corrective action ordered by the regulators and what we can learn from them

Who Should Attend
This program is designed for members of the board of directors, managers of all lending departments, bank counsel, compliance officers, loan officers, and auditors.

Flood Insurance Essentials

Flood Insurance rules have changed continuously over the past years.

  • On July 6, 2012 Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act (Biggert-Waters).
  • On March 23, 2014 Congress passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act (Affordability Act). The Affordability Act revised certain sections of Biggert-Waters, eliminated or delayed other sections and created new rules.
  • In June 2015, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Farm Credit Administration, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (jointly, the agencies) released final rules implementing most of the provisions of both of the above laws.
  • In January 2019, the agencies published final rules implementing the requirements for the mandatory purchase of private flood insurance.
  • During the Spring of 2021, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) revised flood insurance declaration page to, among other items, remove the flood zone; which invalidates Flood Insurance FAQs that require the lender to compare the flood zone on the policy to the zone on the Standard Flood Hazard Determination form.
  • On September 30, 2021, FEMA released the revised Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form (SFHDF). The previous version expired on October 31, 2018.
  • On May 11, 2022, the agencies issued revised questions and answers (Q & As) regarding federal flood insurance law and the agencies’ implementing regulations.

What You’ll Learn

  • When flood insurance is required, including situations that result in an increase, renewal, or an extension
  • How to determine the accurate amount of required insurance the borrower must purchase
  • What the purchase requirements are when multiple buildings are located on a property in a special flood hazard area
  • The final requirements for the mandatory acceptance of private flood insurance
  • The detached structure exemption and how to utilize it
  • The requirement to escrow flood insurance premiums and the exemptions allowed from the escrow requirements
  • The rules for force-placing flood insurance
  • Whether increasing a loan balance due to force-placing flood insurance requires an escrow account to be established
  • What steps should be taken if a flood hazard determination does not mirror the special flood hazard area dictated by the insurance company
  • How a financial institution should monitor those loans designated to be in a special flood hazard area

Who Should Attend
The program is designed for compliance officers, operations personnel, mortgage loan officers, loan originators and others involved in obtaining and maintaining flood insurance on mortgage loans.
