The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act charges the CFPB with establishing a CAB to advise and consult with its director on consumer financial issues. The bureau also created three councils, one each to give input on consumer financial issues related to community banks and credit unions, and a third to advise on strategic research planning processes, agenda and methodologies, as well as data collection strategies and methods of analysis.
