The Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force was created by President Obama in November 2009 and is the largest coalition whose purpose it is to confront financial fraud relating to the financial crisis. The task force has a five-part mission, one of which is to address discrimination in the lending and financial markets.
The Non-Discrimination Working Group focuses on financial fraud and unfair practices directed at people or neighborhoods based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, or any other basis prohibited by law. The working group is chaired by representatives from the Department of Justice, the Federal Reserve Board, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the attorney general of Illinois on behalf of the state attorneys general.
This webinar is part of an ongoing series of events focused specifically on consumer compliance issues. The “Outlook Live” Audio Conference is a Federal Reserve System initiative produced in conjunction with the quarterly newsletter Consumer Compliance Outlook.
