Curriculum

On September 17, 2019, the federal banking agencies adopted a final rule that provides community banking organizations flexibility in adopting simplified regulatory capital requirements. This rule, known also as the community bank leverage ratio (CBLR), allows qualifying community banks to avoid calculating and reporting risk-based capital ratios. The CBLR becomes effective this January and eligible institutions can opt in to the framework beginning in the first quarter of 2020 by completing a CBLR reporting schedule in its Call Report or Form FR Y-9C. 

This webinar delivers an overview of the final rule and reviews:

  • Qualifying criteria for the CBLR framework;
  • Opting in (and out) of the CBLR framework, as well as compliance obligations; and 
  • Benefits and risks for institutions opting into the new CBLR framework. 


This webinar is appropriate for:

  • Bank treasury staff, attorneys, regulatory compliance specialists, and other critical bank personnel;
  • Executive officers, directors, and other senior management; and
  • Personnel interfacing with federal bank regulatory agencies (Federal Reserve, OCC, and FDIC).
