Essential Training in Compliance Control: Adopting New Products in the Changing Legal Landscape
and How to Best Prepare for What is Nextprepaid legislation is rapidly evolving, resulting in new, amended and evolving obligations for card issuers, program managers, retailer sellers, distributors, fulfillment companies, incentive companies, etc. regulated aspects of prepaid cards touch and concern at a minimum, the legal department, accounting and finance department, compliance department, it department, marketing team, sales personal and tax department of any company that operates a prepaid program. it is essential for program managers to stay informed and up to date on the latest policies, developments and legal requirements. it is equally important to establish an internal policy or process by which this information is shared within the company and to establish a process for engaging the necessary department response or action in a timely manner. Being prepared, knowledgeable and proactive is the best defense to costly litigation, fines, penalties and publicized complaints. By understanding why these laws are put into place, companies can better grasp what is in store for the future, and how to start preparing for such potential changes. session topics include:
• Providingindustryfeedbackonthelatestlegislationandadiscussionon the regulators rationale for laws and proposed laws
