CSBS Education Foundation

Continuing and executive Education: these programs provide industry, policy, and risk management updates for mid-level managers and senior executives in the state regulatory agencies.

The conference of state bank supervisors (CSBS) shares its employees, office space and office supplies/equipment with the CSBS Education Foundation (the Foundation). As a result, CSBS allocates a portion of its personnel and overhead costs to the Foundation that was used to advance the Foundation's three primary areas of focus. However, the Foundation does not allocate these costs to each of the individual program services.

Technical training: these online and on-site programs prepare examiners of banks, trust departments, mortgage companies, and money service businesses in the detailed process of on-site examination and off-site monitoring of these depository and non-depository financial institutions. Additionally, each year, the CSBS Education Foundation awards scholarships to bank and trust examiners that are enrolled in graduate schools for banking. These awards are partially funded by earnings from the permanently restricted samuel weinrott memorial scholarship fund.

Agency accreditation program: the accreditation program provides a comprehensive review of the critical elements of a state regulatory agency. The program assesses a regulatory agency's ability to discharge its responsibilities through an investigation of its administration and finances, personnel policies, training programs, examination policies, supervisory procedures, and statutory powers. In establishing standards for state banking departments, mortgage, and money service business regulatory agencies, the CSBS Education Foundation is supporting public interest goals by identifying highly competent state banking, mortgage, and money service business regulatory agencies and strengthening the capabilities of all departments and agencies.
