Compliance Summit Adds Certification Component
TAMPA, Fla. — Organizers of Compliance Summit have announced that attendees will have the opportunity to earn Certified Automotive Compliance Specialist status at the Las Vegas event, which will be held Aug. 29–30, 2016, at Paris Las Vegas, as part of the annual Industry Summit.
David Gesualdo, who serves as show chair and as publisher of Auto Dealer Today and F&I and Showroom, said the addition of a certification component was in response to demand from past attendees.
“I can’t tell you how many times we have heard, ‘I need something I can take back to the dealership,’” Gesualdo said. “That is a perfectly reasonable request and, with the help of our speakers, we are going to make it happen.”
Certification will require participation in a comprehensive, four-hour review session on Tuesday afternoon and successful completion of a written exam. The review will be given by Compliance Summit speakers and focus on the following topics:
Part 1:
Ethics
Reg Z
Reg M
Risk-Based Pricing Rule
Adverse Actions
ECOA
FCRA
Credit Applications
Signature Issues
Conditional Delivery
Monroney Labels
Addendum Stickers
Part 2:
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act
Used Car Rule
Red Flags Rule
Safeguards Rule
FACT Act
Cash Reporting
OFAC
USA PATRIOT ACT
Discrimination
Fair Credit Policies
UDAP
EH&S Basics
