How To Analyze HMDA and Other Data for Fair Lending Compliance
Program Content:
The HMDA-LAR has been called the ground floor of a fair lending examination. It is a goldmine of information simply because it contains demographic information of applicants and borrowers. Performing analysis of HMDA data is no longer a best practice; it is an expectation of examiners. After all, they too are using statistical and other tools to identify focal points for their exams. They expect you to understand your own data and be able to apply a risk-based focus in your efforts.
The stakes are only getting higher: the Dodd-Frank Act contains provisions requiring additional HMDA data to be collected and submitted in the years to come, so this is no longer a “nice-to-have”; it’s a necessity.
But what does this mean? How to best do this? This program explores ways to use HMDA data in various types of analyses. This isn't meant only for larger institutions, either. There are many tools that even the smallest community banks can (and should) utilize. Many of these analyses can be performed with just Excel. But in today's strict fair lending examination environment, understanding your own data is a necessity.
Covered Topics:
· Collecting the information you need (it's more than just the LAR)
· Basic calculations to run to identify areas for further analysis: disparity ratios, t-values, and more
· Analyzing your data by "slices"
· Identifying problem areas
· Reviewing peer data
· Examples of tables, calculations and comparisons to run
· Analyzing pricing information
· Examiner expectations regarding additional data elements
· Identifying and analyzing "outliers"
· Regression analysis
· Matched pairs/comparative file review, and individual file review
· Service level analysis
