Last week, Gov. Dunleavy shot down a bill that would have increased the state's per student funding formula (BSA) by $1,000. On Wednesday, the Senate Finance Committee proposed a slightly lower increase to the BSA.
Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s veto of House Bill 69 was solidified after a joint vote of the House and Senate. In a 33-27 vote, state lawmakers rejected overriding the governor’s veto of the bill, which sought to increase the BSA (annual per-student funding) by $1,000.
At some point in our lives, we have all experienced some form of fraud, an unauthorized charge on our account, a phishing email attempt, or the infamous phone call that our cars warranty has expired. The reality is fraud doesn't discriminate, and it has been an ongoing issue for centuries. To kick off this season, podcast host Jessica sits down with Jamie Smathers, VP of Fraud Prevention and BSA at MSU Federal Credit Union to talk about the Evolution of Fraud; where it started in the financial industry and the potential future of fraud as we see more and more artificial intelligence being incorporated into our everyday lives. This season is one you don't want to miss out on. Tune in now.
In the latest episode of the Today's Conveyancer podcast, host David Opie welcomes Rob Gurney, Managing Director of Ochresoft to discuss how long conveyancing actually takes; and why lower the lower transaction volumes of the last couple of years haven't seen corresponding falls in completion times.A new report from Landmark which interrogates the data held in the Ochresoft conveyancing workflows shows despite lower transaction volumes and advancements in technology, the time taken for property transactions has doubled since 2007. The average time from instruction to completion has increased from 85 days in 2007 to 160 days in 2024 for sales, and from 75 days to 120 days for purchases.There is, says Rob, a need for fundamental changes in the conveyancing process, including early instruction of lawyers and the adoption of technology. Rob has previously been on the Today's Conveyancer podcast discussing the perfect contract pack; conveyancing nirvana, where unnecessary enquiries are eradicated, and the process is streamlined to meet modern consumer expectations.For the time being issues around staffing (a 15% fall in qualified conveyancing numbers since the pandemic has caused bottlenecks); increased responsibility during the transaction meaning conveyancers now deal with roughly double the number of requirements they previously did; and regulatory changes including AML and BSA all have an impact on timelines. But there are factors within conveyancers' control says Rob, suggesting the earlier instruction of lawyers would go some way to streamlining the process later down the line. Instruction at the point of listing provides time to prepare documentation and data in advance. With search turnarounds now down to c.10 days, fewer complaints can be made about delays here, but ordering them in good time will help. And despite an 8 day reduction in the time it takes to deal with pre-contract enquiries between 2023 and 2024, the current 52-day average is double the time it took in 2007. Let's not forget, concludes Rob, we're all trying to achieve the same thing and no one gets paid until the transaction completes. For estate agents, shorter transaction times mean faster pipeline turnover and increased revenue. For lenders and consumers, delays can lead to financial losses due to expiring mortgage offers and changing interest rates. And for conveyancers faster transactions means better fees and happier clients.

Une Cession Presque Parfaite : Dans les coulisses de la transmission d'entreprises
Le Projet de Loi de Finances 2025 vient frapper fort sur les Management packages. Vous êtes dirigeant sous LBO ? Vous bénéficiez de BSPCE, actions gratuites, BSA ?Vous préparez un cash-out, une levée de fonds, une opération de M&A, une transmission, une cession ?Alors ce post est pour vous. Désormais, une partie de vos plus-values pourra être imposée comme un salaire, jusqu'à 59%, contre 34% (flat tax + CEHR) jusque-là. Oui, vous avez bien lu. 59 %. Le nouvel article 163 bis H remet en cause le traitement fiscal des management packages.Il crée une présomption de salaire, impose des conditions strictes pour bénéficier du régime des plus-values, et vise de nombreux schémas jusqu'ici tolérés. Pour bien comprendre ce que ça change, j'ai eu le grand plaisir de recevoir Philippe Donneaud, avocat fiscaliste associé chez CMS Francis Lefebvre, dans Une Cession Presque Parfaite. Il a répondu, avec clarté, aux questions que beaucoup de dirigeants se posent aujourd'hui. Ce qu'on a vu ensemble : ✅ Pourquoi ce texte marque un tournant dans la fiscalité des dirigeants et des investisseurs✅ Ce que le législateur cherche vraiment : justice fiscale ou reprise en main ?✅ Comment cette réforme s'inscrit dans un mouvement plus large engagé depuis plusieurs années✅ Pourquoi le traitement fiscal des management packages posait autant de problèmes jusqu'à maintenant✅ Ce que le nouvel article 163 bis H change concrètement : codification, présomption, seuil de performance✅ Comment le fisc distinguera désormais un gain salarial d'un gain patrimonial✅ Quelles conditions remplir pour rester en plus-value : performance, risque, absence de lien hiérarchique..✅ Ce qu'il faut penser du seuil de performance fixé à 3 fois la progression de valeur✅ Les schémas classiques (BSPCE, BSA, AGA…) sont-ils encore viables ?✅ Est-ce que ça touche aussi les opérations d'apport-cession, donations, holdings ?✅ Quel impact de l'amendement Charasse et des nouvelles jurisprudences ? En clair :

Welcome to Credit Union Conversations! In today's episode, host Mark Ritter is joined by the industry's leading expert, Mark Treichel, to uncover the mysteries of the NCUA exam and guide you through its complexities. With insights on risk management, cybersecurity, and evolving regulations, Mark Treichel offers invaluable advice on navigating credit union challenges, especially with a new administration in place. Tune in as they discuss everything from working through exam processes, the impact of office buyouts, to the current state of credit risk and empty office spaces. Plus, get an insider's look into the concept of regulation by enforcement and how credit unions can better manage their cybersecurity efforts. Stay with us to hear Mark's advice on reaching out and getting expert assistance on your next NCUA exam.IN THIS EPISODE:(00:00) Introduction (01:34) The NCUA exam and a new administration(09:27) Buyouts and requirements of working in person(13:27) Credit risk management and empty offices(19:10) Cybersecurity and regulation by enforcement(27:53) Connect with Mark TreichelKEY TAKEAWAYS: The change in administration, particularly moving from one political party to another, significantly influences the NCUA's priorities and approach. This shift often creates chaos as new leadership adjusts priorities and regulations. The NCUA is currently dealing with internal challenges, such as a hiring freeze, regulatory pauses, and staff buyouts. These factors contribute to uncertainty within the agency and affect its ability to fulfill its mission effectively. The chaotic environment could lead to turnover, with highly skilled employees either retiring or leaving for other opportunities.There is a focus on "regulation by enforcement," where policies are often clarified through enforcement actions rather than proper regulation. This creates ambiguity and strain on organizations, and there is a push for rules that strictly follow the intent of the law to avoid overreach and unnecessary penalties.RESOURCE LINKSMark Ritter - WebsiteMark Ritter - LinkedInWith Flying Colors - PodcastMark Treichel - WebsiteCredit Union Regulatory Guidance - PodcastBIO: With 33 years of experience at NCUA, I've served in key roles, including Executive Director, Regional Director, Director of Special Actions, Supervisory Examiner, and Principal Examiner.

Four years later, Reiko reflects on how her wardrobe and fashion choices have transformed, from purging her professional wear, to embracing new trends.

In this season 13 opening episode, I speak with season 4 guest Helecia Williams about transitioning from a sporty-chic style, how the way she feels directly influences her wardrobe choices, the power of experimenting with unique, standout pieces, the challenges of fit and comfort, and why it's okay to let go of pieces that just don't work. We also discuss the quality of pieces from small Black-owned designers, why embracing individuality in style is more important than ever, a color trend she's loving, why no one really cares about what you're wearing, and much more.

How does a respected financial institution turn into a criminal operation? In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, host Michael Volkov dives into the record-breaking $3 billion settlement between TD Bank and the Department of Justice over pervasive violations of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. Highlighting TD Bank's systemic failures, Michael explores how the bank's compliance and oversight lapses led to criminal conduct within its operations, making it a case study on the dangers of prioritizing growth over legal compliance. From failed AML programs to enabling money laundering on a massive scale, this episode sheds light on the regulatory crackdown TD Bank now faces.Hear him discuss: TD Bank's $3 billion penalty sets a new high for banking compliance cases. In yet another reminder of the scope of Justice Department enforcement powers, and an important demonstration of the risks of non-compliance, the Justice Department and relevant banking agencies announced a $3 billion settlement with TD Bank companies to resolve systemic and pervasive Bank Secrecy Act ("BSA") and money laundering violations.TD Bank's internal culture sidelined AML compliance, leading to massive oversights, including unmonitored transactions worth $18.3 trillion from 2018 to 2024. TD Bank enforced a “flat-cost paradigm,” restricting the compliance budget, which prevented updates and adaptations needed to meet new risk levels.TDBUSH pleaded guilty to causing TDBNA to fail to maintain an AML program that complies with the BSA and to fail to file accurate Currency Transaction Reports ("CTRs").Despite multiple warnings from internal audits and third-party consultants, the bank maintained its flawed AML protocols without significant action.TD Bank earned the ignominious record: TD Bank is the largest bank in U.S. history to plead guilty to Bank Secrecy Act program failures, and the first US bank in history to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit money laundering. With this settlement, TD Bank joins a list of high-profile compliance failures alongside companies like Wells Fargo and Wirecard, furthering the call for financial institutions to prioritize ethical compliance in their growth models.ResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group
Our podcast listeners are very familiar with federal fair lending and anti-discrimination laws that apply in the consumer lending area: the Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) and Fair Housing Act (FHA). Those statutes prohibit discriminating against certain protected classes of consumer credit applicants. For example, the ECOA makes it unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction, on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, or age (provided the applicant has the capacity to contract); the applicant's use of a public assistance program to receive all or part of their income; or the applicant's previous good-faith exercise of any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The FHA prohibits discrimination concerning the sale, rental, or financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, disability, pregnancy or having children. The FTC sometimes relies on the “unfairness” prong of its UDAP (Unfair or Deceptive Acts and Practices) authority to bring other types of discrimination claims against companies subject to the FTC's jurisdiction. The CFPB has tried to use the unfairness prong of its UDAAP (Unfair, Deceptive, or Abusive Acts or Practices) authority in a similar manner with respect to companies and banks subject to its jurisdiction. A Federal District Court has invalidated the portion of the CFPB's UDAAP Exam Manual provision upon which such authority was previously predicated and the case is now being considered by the Fifth Circuit. Our focus during this podcast show is not on these Federal anti-discrimination statutes, but rather on the fact that an increasing number of states have either enacted or are considering enacting legislation requiring financial institutions to provide persons (both existing customers and prospective customers) who are not ordinarily protected by the federal anti-discrimination statutes with fair access to financial services. The first broad fair access requirements appeared in a Florida statute enacted in 2023, which generally prohibits financial institutions from denying or canceling services to a person or otherwise discriminating against a person in making available services on the basis of enumerated factors, commonly including factors such as political opinions, or any other factor that is not quantitative, impartial, and risk-based. Because this topic is very controversial, I invited individuals who support and oppose these new types of state statutes: Brian Knight, Senior Research Fellow at Mercatus Center of George Mason University, Professor Peter Conti-Brown of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Peter Hardy who co-leads our Anti-Money Laundering (AML) team at Ballard Spahr. (Brain was previously a guest on our May 23, 2024 podcast which focused on the related topic of Operation Chokepoint.) Brian is generally supportive of these state fair access laws. Professor Conti-Brown and Peter Hardy generally oppose these types of laws. We cover the following sub-topics, among others: 1. Why were these laws enacted? 2. What financial institutions are subject to these laws? Do they cover only depository institutions or do they also cover non-banks? Do they cover only consumer transactions or do they cover business transactions as well? Do they cover out-of-state financial institutions doing business with residents of the states that have enacted these statutes? Are there exemptions based on small size? 3. Since banks are not public utilities, and have shareholders and employees to whom they owe duties, why should they be forced to do business with people or companies who generate fossil fuel or who manufacture or sell firearms, to take just two examples of industries protected by these statutes? 4. What are the private and public remedies for violating these statutes? 5. Does the National Bank Act, the Home Owners' Loan Act and the Federal Credit Union Act preempt these state laws? 6. Do these laws run afoul of AML laws as the Treasury suggests? Brian believes that these state statutes don't force any financial institution to do business with a particular person or company. The statutes simply say that you must give a good reason for a declination. A good reason would be one based on risk to the institution such as a lack of experience in evaluating the company's business. Another good reason would be that the company is engaged in an unlawful business. A bad reason for a declination would be that the bank doesn't like the political or cultural positions of the company. Peter Conti-Brown believes that banks should be able to decide with whom they desire to do business as long as they don't violate existing federal laws that prohibit discrimination, like ECOA and the FHA. Peter expresses skepticism that there was or is a need for these statutes. The “bottom line” is that the state statutes are bad public policy. Peter also believes that these state statutes are preempted by the National Bank Act. Peter Hardy believes that these state statutes throw a monkey wrench into banks' efforts to comply with AML requirements and the Bank Secrecy Act. He explains how these statutes could help bad actors evade the BSA. We have previously blogged about these statutes. Alan Kaplinsky, Senior Counsel and former chair for 25 years of the Consumer Financial Services Group, hosts the discussion.
