CRYSTAL LAKE, IL, Oct. 15, 2013 – Automotive Compliance Consultants said today that given the era’s new focus on F&I practices, its DealersEdge webinar Oct. 24 is designed to provide auto dealers with tips for ensuring compliant F&I practices. 

The dealership F&I department is regulated by 10 different federal requirements. The dealership must comply with each of these. They regulate everything from cost of credit disclosure to how dealerships report large cash purchases to how they are to protect consumer information. 

This webinar by Automotive Compliance Consultants CEO Terry Dortch, How to Self- Audit Your Own F&I Process and Compliance, will help auto dealers learn: 

• Why written F&I policies are important and what they should include
• Why the F&I menu tool is more than a selling tool
• What F&I documents have to be retained and for how long
• Plus, a review of 10 federal regulations that every F&I office must comply with to protect consumer information and the dealership from misuse 

“Given regulators’, auditors’ and plaintiff attorneys’ focus on car dealer practices, keeping the F&I practice in compliance is a must – and absolutely one of the areas where what a dealer doesn’t know about or think is important can hurt them badly,” Dortch notes.
