In this episode, Dean and Len discuss the critical role of compliance management systems (CMS) within financial institutions, especially during periods of regulatory change and uncertainty. They emphasize that strong CMS is more than just box-checking—it is the foundation for harmonizing policies, monitoring risks, and ensuring ethical operations across departments. The conversation highlights challenges such as evolving regulations, complex financial products, digital assets, and talent shortages, as well as the recent regulatory shifts like the rollback of the 2023 CRA rule and changing CFPB priorities. The hosts stress that proactive, values-driven compliance management helps institutions stay resilient, maintain stability, and navigate future regulatory swings, especially as concerns grow around data privacy, cybersecurity, and the integration of AI and automation.
