#15: Regulators and the Pandemic Recession: Guidance with Flexibility? | Rob Newberry

In this episode, we focus on the regulators. What will they expect in order to demonstrate we are making 'prudent' judgments and identifying which borrowers or prospective borrowers are experiencing a 'short-term' setback rather than a complete melt-down? And what else are they paying attention to...and helping us with? How can we document our thinking and show the examiners our prudent steps to mitigate risk during this downturn?   About Rob Newberry:   Rob Newberry has over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry including 15 years at Wells Fargo in strategic and leadership roles.
