Background

As of Nov. 1, all banking institutions must be in compliance with the Identity Theft Red Flags Rule, which went into effect on Jan. 1, requiring:

  • Financial institutions and creditors to implement a written identity theft prevention program;
  • Card issuers to assess the validity of change of address requests;
  • Users of consumer reports to verify the identity of the subject of a consumer report in the event of a notice of address discrepancy.

To help institutions meet compliance, the banking regulatory agencies have recently released their Red Flags examination procedures, which include 15 key topics that were hammered out and agreed upon by an interagency committee, covering all three aspects of the new rule:

  • Identity theft red flags;
  • Address discrepancies;
  • Changes of address.

In this exclusive new webinar, Bill Sewall, former Information security executive with Citigroup, will offer an insider's perspective on how to prepare for a successful Identity Theft Red Flags Rule examination.

Drawing upon his years of experience in risk management and compliance, Sewall will:

Walk Through the Examination Procedures - Explaining each of the 15 aspects and what they mean in regards to how your institution might be examined.

Tell You How to Prepare - Offering insights on risk assessment and scoping tasks you can conduct upfront to help ensure a successful examination.
