DALLAS — EFG Companies, the innovator behind the award-winning Hyundai Assurance program, is pleased to announce that certified credit compliance specialist Karen Klees will speak on a panel entitled, “Where the Rubber Meets the Road” at the Texas Compliant Summit, Tuesday, November 17. In addition to her compliance leadership at EFG, Klees serves as the reinsurance instructor at Northwood University and was recently a featured speaker at the National Association of Minority Auto Dealers Association (NAMAD) national convention. She is AFIP Certified and was one of the first 100 professionals to be certified by the National Automotive Finance Association as a Certified Consumer Credit Compliance Specialist.
“Rules and regulations are changing at a rapid pace, and few guidelines exist from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),” said Klees. “Issues ranging from advertising to pricing to paperwork can raise numerous questions – and trouble spots. We will provide guidance that automotive dealers, general managers, compliance officers, and sales and F&I professionals can use to ensure compliance. EFG Companies is pleased to serve as a Premier Sponsor for this important event.”
