This 45-minute webinar will hit on certain key topics, giving attendees an overall grasp of which processes and issues are impacted by valuation independence, USPAP, and discrimination regulations. The webinar also gives attendees a chance to ask questions.

The full five-hour course provides training on the specific information, scenarios, and issues required by clients and regulators. It is a great opportunity for AMC and lender staff to learn and ask questions. Attendance certificates (non-CE) are issued so companies can document the topics covered and track their staff members' training for audit records.

For the full class, registration for classroom, live online, and self-paced online delivery options are found at walitt.com/events-and-classes.
