"Remaining Compliant in a Sea of Changing Expectations," 2017 ACA International Fall Forum and Expo Members of the collections industry are expected to keep abreast of compliance mandates from a variety of sources: FDCPA litigation, state attorneys general and regulators, and the CFPB, to name a few. These channels will often signal a change in expectations before a particular requirement becomes the law of the land, and failing to heed the writing on the wall could lead to significant liability exposure. At the ACA International Fall Forum, Venable attorneys, Alexandra Megaris and Katherine Lamberth, and John Schroeder, Midwest Regional Director, Office of Supervision Examinations, Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, presented on best practices for compliance change management, including how to proactively identify emerging issues, and on expectations and considerations regarding decisions to preemptively adopt certain practices, upcoming debt collection rulemaking, and more.
