The Federal Trade Commission's Red Flags Rule requires banking and credit institutions, utilities and telecommunications, and even healthcare providers to develop a written program to spot the warning signs — or “red flags” of identity theft. While the Federal Trade Commission has delayed enforcement of the Red Flags Rule to January 1st, 2011, federal regulators are already enforcing the rule for many financial institutions. Whether you are a financial institution currently struggling with Red Flags Rules compliance or a healthcare organization preparing for the January 1st, 2011 deadline, this webinar will provide you with sound guidance on the Red Flags Rules.

Join us for a free webinar presented by Nathan Johns & Alicia Poluga of Crowe Horwath LLP. Mr. Johns is an expert on Red Flags regulations, having previously overseen the information technology examination program for the FDIC, including developing examination work programs and training of examiners, while Ms. Poluga established the project team that developed Crowe’s ID Theft Red Flags audit program service.
