Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction (FACT) Act's new Red Flag Rules. To help institutions ensure they meet the regulators' mandatory Nov. 1 compliance date, Wolters Kluwer Financial Services today announced the launch of the company's new Red Flags Resource Center.
The Red Flags Resource Center is a Web site devoted to providing financial institutions with practical information that will help them address the requirements of the new Red Flag Rules. By visiting www.WoltersKluwerFS.com/RedFlagInfo, institutions can learn how to build or update their identity theft prevention program to ensure compliance with the new requirements.
The site's content includes free access to articles, a blog and other information as well as additional tools available separately that can help financial institutions develop policies, create programs, train employees and implement a compliance solution.
"Wolters Kluwer Financial Services has a reputation for helping financial institutions swiftly and efficiently comply with regulatory changes," said Todd Cooper, vice president and general manager of the company's Financial Intelligence Unit. "The new Red Flags Resource Center builds upon that reputation by helping institutions solidify compliance with the new requirements so they are prepared for regulator review come Nov. 1."
