Preventing Identity Theft: FACTA Red Flags Compliance Training

In the U.S. alone, 5 percent of adults – about 10 million – are victimized by identity theft each year. To control the huge costs and liabilities to businesses and consumers, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued the “Red Flag” rules as part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA).

Every U.S. financial institution and creditor company MUST develop and implement a written identity theft prevention program by November 1, 2008. The definition of a 'creditor company' may include auto dealers, utility and telecommunications companies,non-profit and government organizations.

This convenient online course shows employees and managers how to identify, detect, and respond to "red flags" of identity theft in the handling of consumer account information, and how to protect the business and its customer.
