ABA has been identified as the only source capable of providing the required content in an arrangement that meets the needs of the CFPB. In 2010 Congress passed and President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (Dodd-Frank Act). This act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Congress established the CFPB to protect consumers by carrying out Federal consumer financial laws. The consumer bureau's core functions can be described but are not limited to the following: 1. Conduct rule-making, supervision, and enforcement for Federal consumer financial protection laws 2. Restrict unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts or practices 3. Take consumer complaints 4. Promote financial education 5. Research consumer behavior 6. Monitor financial markets for new risks to consumers 7. Enforce laws that outlaw discrimination and other unfair treatment in consumer finance The program is designed to better equip supervisory examiners with the skills that are needed in today's challenging regulatory environment. The curriculum is designed to broaden the supervisory examiner's knowledge of the banking industry and bank regulation, and master concepts of lending, financial management, general management, leadership, and decision-making. The Supervision, Learning, and Development unit (SL&D) of Supervision Examinations (Supervision Examinations) offers eligible members of its supervisory examiner staff tuition remission to participate in a graduate banking school (GBS) program pilot. The establishment of this pilot program will assist the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's (CFPB) mission and agency performance goals. The pilot will also provide an avenue to support employee self-development and learning.
