Our partners from Hudson Cook stopped by The Smart Compliance Blog to talk about the tug of war ensuing over fair lending legislation.

Let’s face it: workforce compliance is kind of a jargon factory. This is especially true for anyone in a highly regulated industry, such as consumer lending, automobile sales, or trucking.
