August 27: Webcast - Elder Financial Abuse and Financial Institutions – Growing Risks and Reporting Requirements

This webinar will provide an overview of the US regulatory framework around elder financial abuse, and offer guidance on how to review and augment existing compliance procedures. Attendees will learn:

• Key state and federal reporting standards related to elder financial abuse, and how they interact with privacy laws and suspicious activity reporting
• The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s increased focus on elder abuse issues, and what it means for financial institutions
• Critical action items that institutions should consider when reviewing and improving their compliance programs.

Elder financial abuse is rapidly emerging as an area of focus for a range of US state and federal agencies. As law enforcement and regulators seek to crack down on fraud schemes, theft and other exploitative practices targeting elders, they are increasingly scrutinizing the role financial institutions can play in preventing abuse.
Despite the increased risks of regulatory liability and reputational harm, many financial institutions still lack adequate compliance programs to detect and report elder financial abuse.
