An Inside Mortgage Finance Webinar Held
Wednesday, July 27, 2011

Don’t miss this panel of industry experts as they discuss the “big picture” of the new CFPB’s responsibilities and priorities. More institutions will come under their supervision umbrella than may realize at this point. As they try to harmonize two mortgage disclosure documents—the TIL and the GFE—inquiring minds want to know if they are considering both lending and real estate disclosure demands.

Join us for the perspective across the industry to find out more about the importance of the QM rule to the CFPB and other significant implications that will affect you. You’ll better understand how the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fits into the new regulatory scheme. 

While the mortgage industry supports clearer disclosures, the jury is still out on whether the CFPB’s new prototype "single integrated disclosure" forms really do the trick. Find out what additional new disclosures are in the works at the controversial bureau, and what it all could mean for various mortgage market players as well as what changes are being sought at a special Inside Mortgage Finance webinar  CFPB Update: What You Need to Know About the New Regulator. 

The legal experts at this webinar discussed what you should expect and what timelines you must follow to come into compliance. You’ll also learn the latest about other important changes mandated by Dodd-Frank.
