A Compliance training program for dealers
The FRAT program, developed in collaboration with The Association of Dealership Compliance Officers (ADCO) and AFIP, offers a comprehensive compliance training platform for dealership employees. This platform enables dealerships to enroll employees in training courses and monitor their progress. Additionally, it provides various reporting options to track training status.
FRAT is targeted at dealer executives, sales teams, operations staff, compliance officers, and other essential personnel. It includes training on the Safeguards Rule, Red Flags Rule, Disposal Rule, OFAC, ECOA, and FCRA, among others. New modules focusing on OSHA and Human Resources are expected to launch by 2025.
Each training module is accompanied by specific policies, with ADCO members benefitting from a 20% discount at time of registration.
