ABA Is Your Bank Compliant with the New FACT Act Identity Theft Red Flags Rule? (November 1, 2008 is closer than you think!)
ABA Telephone Briefing/Webcast*

Your bank's Identity Theft Prevention Program must be in place by November 1, 2008. Is your institution ready? Have you completed your risk assessment? Are you prepared to report your findings and recommendations to the Board for approval? Will you meet your regulator's exam requirements?

During this recording of the live, two-hour telephone briefing held on September 8, a representative from the FDIC, a banker and a consultant provide you with practical advice on how to comply with the ID Theft Red Flags Rule. With the effective date fast approaching, not only is it important for your bank to comply with the requirements, but you must also demonstrate compliance to your regulator. You will take valuable insights back to your bank and ideas on how to implement these new requirements. Register today and get your questions answered by the experts!

Topics will include

  • Compliance Effective Date: November 1, 2008 -- Is your bank's ID Theft Prevention Program ready for review? Does your plan meet all of the requirements? Are you confident you can effectively communicate with your examiner? Can you provide reasons why some accounts are covered and some are not? Can you explain your account risk assessment procedures? Are you prepared to discuss the red flags you use and why?
  • Bank Case Study -- Learn how a consultant met this compliance challenge with a bank client. Benefit from their experiences to avoid unnecessary obstacles.
  • Banker's Perspective -- Hear how a peer worked through the risk assessment process. A banker will share his bank's experiences conducting a Red Flag compliance review, obstacles the bank faced, and reasons why their bank did or did not take certain actions.
  • Opportunities to Ask Questions -- You will have several chances to ask the speakers questions. Your program is complete, but not approved because the Board doesn't meet until December; what can you do? What happens if your bank will not be compliant until January? What are the penalties for non-compliance? How can your bank verify a change of address received from the USPS and not the customer?
