  • Participate in FDIC and State compliance examinations (FL and NY) and manage regulatory audits.
  • Respond to regulatory inquiries and findings and implement necessary corrective actions.
  • Establish and conduct ongoing monitoring and testing of compliance controls.
  • Maintain accurate and organized records of compliance-related activities.
