Advanced Account Documentation & Compliance

Well-trained bankers who recognize and stop attempted dishonest activity are the first line of defense in protecting a financial institution from fraudsters. Unfortunately, new account personnel are too often trained “on the job,” which results in an environment of potential vulnerability and unnecessary losses for the bank. Additionally, with constant new regulations, the need for ongoing training is paramount to maintain diligence and update processes and procedures. These workshops are highly interactive. Come prepared to get your questions answered!
