NEW MARKET, Md. - Marylandian -- Duffy Compliance is pleased to introduce its latest Red Flags Rule training program, which equips financial institutions with the knowledge and skills to effectively comply with the FTC's FACT Act and safeguard customer data.

In 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) began enforcing the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions (FACT) Act, which requires creditors and financial institutions to develop written identity theft prevention programs. These programs aim to find, prevent, and limit the risk of fraudulent use of personal information. As with any successful compliance initiative, highly trained employees are critical in recognizing warning signs and taking appropriate action on behalf of their customers.

Duffy Compliance Services, driven by a desire to empower financial institutions, recognized the widespread need for internal training resources and readily available external options. Duffy Compliance developed this innovative training program to address this need and equip organizations with the necessary tools and knowledge to safeguard their customers and bottom line.
