""Interthinx"":http://www.interthinx.com/ announced the launch of a new podcast hosted by Vice President of Compliance Roger Fendelman.
[IMAGE]The podcast, titled From the Bar: Inside Compliance with Roger Fendelman, will focus on the industry's toughest compliance issues. The program is meant to explain rulemaking by the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and to answer concerns that lenders have had.
""Compliance officers have never had a more challenging mandate than they do today,"" said Fendelman. ""Attendance at compliance conferences has increased dramatically in the last year as these professionals reach out for guidance. Failure to ensure compliance has resulted in buyback requests, fines, loss of lines of business, and closure of business for many lenders. With hundreds of new rules coming down from various agencies this year, occasional conferences are not sufficient. From the Bar will provide detailed information and analysis that financial institutions can rely on.""
Fendelman leads the Interthinx compliance department and is responsible for developing its PredProtect Compliance Suite of automated regulatory compliance tools. He has written numerous published articles on regulatory requirements and often speaks at industry events.
