[SS Fed] Dodd-Frank Act

Course Description

Waves of defaults on subprime home loans and the rapid unraveling of the market began in March 2007, and the impact of these losses is still determining the economic forecast. Congress addressed the crisis with the enactment of new legislation, specifically the passage of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the Dodd-Frank Act). The law addresses a broad range of issues that relate to financial and investment activities, including mortgage lending and investing.

This course provides an overview of the Dodd-Frank Act, including a look at some of the most pertinent titles and subtitles within the Act.
