Business Continuity Planning for Financial Institutions - Understanding and Implementing FFIEC Guidance
Wednesday, January 29, 2020
12:00 pm – 1:30 pm Eastern 

How quickly your financial institution can get back to serving customers after a cybersecurity attack, hurricane, wildfire, or flood often depends on the business continuity plan (BCP) that has been developed.  The Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) has provided guidance as to the contents of your institution’s BCP but has your plan kept up with the new technology utilized in today’s banking environment and the emergence of new types of disasters?  As technology continues to evolve so do the threats that could potentially hamper an institution’s ability to provide financial services to its customers.

Join us as we review the examination procedures outlined in the Business Continuity Planning booklet and discuss how to incorporate emerging risks into the plan.  While we can never predict the type or timing of a disaster, we can ensure that our institution has a solid business continuity plan that not only passes an examination but is a valuable tool in the event of a disaster!

Attendees to this critical event will get:

• A detailed review of the FFIEC’s Business Continuity Planning examination procedures
• Examination of Third-Party Service Provider Contracts for Business Continuity
• An example of a Business Impact Analysis (BIA)
• Discussion of new technologies and emerging threats into the plan
• Resources to share with your customers to become their financial hero during a disaster

Bonus Materials for Attendees: 

• A list of business continuity items to consider in contracts with technology service providers
• Threat Risk Assessment 
• Critical Function Worksheet
• Employee training log

Molly Stull
Compliance Consultant, Brode Consulting Services, Inc.

Molly began her banking career on the teller line while working on her undergraduate degree and has continued working in the financial industry ever since.  She has experienced the growth of a hometown bank, acquisitions of branches, bank mergers, charter changes, name changes, MoU’s (not a favorite), and working in a de novo bank.  Throughout these experiences she has gained a wealth of banking knowledge. She has activated business resumption plans, implemented a VoIP phone system, performed secondary market quality control reviews, processed wires, filed SAR’s, developed bank approved policies and coordinated reviews with external auditors and examiners.  Her favorite role has always been to educate banking staff on whatever subject is currently the hot agenda item.    She strongly believes that if the staff understands the “why” of a process they will be more compelled to follow the procedures.  Her wealth of financial experience enables her to relate to the client and perform in depth reviews.

Molly is married to Brad and they have two daughters, Katie & Riley.  The family’s farm is close to Wooster, OH where they grow corn and soybeans. They also breed and raise purebred hogs and boer goats.  Sporting activities and livestock shows at the county, state and national levels keep them busy.
