This web seminar is complimentary.

With cases of identity theft soaring, the U.S. government has imposed a new Identity Theft Red Flags rule. Effective November 1, 2008, any creditor or financial institution holding accounts vulnerable to identity theft is required to have written policies and procedures in place to detect, prevent and mitigate the incidence of customer identity theft. How do you create an effective Identity Theft Prevention program? What are the red flags your program must identify, how must you follow through after one is detected—and how will this new program fit into your overall anti-money laundering compliance regime? This complimentary session will address the key areas your Identity Theft program needs to cover. Plus, our experts will show you how to leverage your current customer identification program (CIP) to help meet new compliance obligations, streamline your overall compliance process and forge a tougher armor that can withstand hits from regulators and fraudsters.
