Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to the Securities Acts Module included in its Credit Union Compliance training program.
New York, NY, November 19, 2010 — Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to the Securities Acts Module included in its Credit Union Compliance training program. The Securities Module, which includes the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, has been revised in Focus on Compliance for Credit Unions as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s commitment to providing the most pertinent information to the global financial services industry.
The Securities Act of 1933 was enacted by US Congress in response to the stock market crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. The Act requires that investors receive significant information concerning securities being offered for public sale, and prohibits deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraudulent activities in the sale of securities to the public.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 formed the basis of regulation of the financial markets and their participants in the US, and governs the secondary trading of securities in the US. The Act also established the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requires securities traders to register with the SEC, imposes specific disclosures, and prohibits manipulative and deceptive devices in connection with the purchase and sale of securities.
Focus on Compliance for Credit Unions, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, teaches compliance using easy-to-understand language in an interactive, self-paced format. Focus on Compliance for Credit Unions covers: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti Money Laundering (AML), USA PATRIOT Act, OFAC, Privacy, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, Sarbanes-Oxley, Reg CC, Check 21, Reg E, Truth in Lending, FCRA, FACT Act, ECOA, Fair Lending, HMDA and Bank Bribery, among others. The program also includes a quick reference guide to all regulations and a searchable library of reference materials.
