Outlines 2012’s Top 10 Mortgage-Reform Issues ABA has
developed a three-page outline on 2012’s top 10 mortgage-reform issues. The
outline -- designed to prepare members for the challenges ahead -- contains
comprehensive updates on each issue, along with links to the proposals, ABA’s
comments and banker resources. For more
information, contact ABA's Bob Davis. Dodd-Frank
Act Guide for Bank CEOs ABA is
publishing a guide to the Dodd-Frank Act that has been prepared especially
for CEOs. Called “Dodd-Frank and Community Banks,” it is a guide to 12
critical issues that will be acted on during 2012, including the OTS merger
into the OCC, and Savings & Loan and Mutual Holding companies. The
booklet, which is to be mailed to your bank in early February, is intended to
help community bankers prepare for and respond to rulemakings that could have
a significant impact on your institution. Bankers
can learn what to watch out for and what matters – and how to get involved to
influence the outcome. For more information on issues of interest to
