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.

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.

Risks (and Rewards) of Artificial Intelligence in Banking

There has been quite a lot in the news lately regarding the use of artificial intelligence, or AI, in the banking industry. But there is more to it than just AI — financial institutions are increasingly using algorithms and so-called “big data” in their operations. The benefits are obvious — more effective marketing, more efficient underwriting of credit, and just an overall sense of better knowing the customer.

But there are two sides to every coin; there are significant risks to using AI and nontraditional data when dealing with customers and prospects. The regulatory agencies (as well as Congress and the Administration) are keenly focused on these risks, and are looking very carefully at what the industry is doing. We have FinTechs to thank for many of these advancements, but they are not regulated the same way as traditional banks, thrifts, and credit unions, so usage of these exciting tools and strategies must monitored carefully.

What You’ll Learn

  • “Algorithmic discrimination” – what is this, and how can we monitor for it?
  • Digital redlining – offering your products in the digital world
  • The White House’s “Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights”
  • The Facebook settlement – case study in digital advertising
  • Regulatory agency and FTC guidance on the issue – many to-dos and recommendations
  • Machine learning and related risks
  • AI Framework from the National Institute of Standards and Technology
  • FHA: algorithm-based tenant screening
  • Recent Automated Valuation Model (AVM) proposal – bias in the evaluation process
  • Joint statement on AI-based discrimination from CFPB, DOJ, FTC, and EEOC
  • Fintech-bank partnerships

Who Should Attend

Explain how to deal with change orders and cost overruns

Webinar Details
Real estate construction lending is perhaps the most complicated type of loan and certainly one of the riskiest that your institution can make.  Construction lending requires knowledge of unique lending processes and an understanding of how to manage these processes.  It is a trap for the unwary who think construction lending is simply making a real estate loan.  This webinar will explain the construction lending function from start to finish.  It will discuss both consumer and commercial construction loans and the landmines to avoid.

Who Should Attend?
This informative session is designed for any personnel involved in construction loans, including loan officers, loan operations personnel, compliance staff, attorneys, auditors, and managers.

  • Loan closing checklist (list of loan documents and other items needed for construction loans)
