$50 billlion dollars a year! That’s what the U.S. has been losing to consumer identity theft for several years running now. And the problem just keeps growing. In an effort to curtail the problem, the Red Flags Rule was created as a part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. New enforcement requirements inspired this new compliance program, Red Flags Rule: Preventing Identity Theft. This engaging program explains the newest mandate, enforced by the FTC, that can help put an end to this alarming problem.

Video Synopsis:  The program includes interviews with actual victims of identify theft, highlighting the frustration and anxiety caused by this growing, global problem.  The informative host leads us through the four steps of an effective Theft Prevention Program as we visit a variety of different workplace settings impacted by this new law.  Periodic commentary by the real victims adds depth and color for the viewer, emphasizing the need for compliance.

STEP 1:  Identify relevant red flags. What are you likely to encounter in day-to-day business operations?

STEP 2:  Detect red flags. Program guidelines ensure that the organization will detect the red flags as they occur.

STEP 3:  Respond to red flags.  The program details procedures for responding when red flags are detected.

STEP 4:  Update the program.  Ensure that the latest identify theft tactics are included.

Do your part to curtail the monetary and emotional impact of rampant identity theft in your organization by educating your employees and complying with the Red Flag Rules.
