Edcomm Banker’s Academy Launches California Elder Financial Abuse Training for Individuals

Sept. 30, 2010 - PRLog -- New York, NY, September 30, 2010 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently launched its California Elder Financial Abuse training program for individuals looking to begin or advance their career in the financial services industry. The same great program that has already been used by thousands of California banks, Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse gives individuals the knowledge, skills and certification they need to prevent elder financial abuse at their bank.

In the U.S. alone, millions of seniors are the victims of financial exploitation each year. Sadly, over 80 percent of these abuse cases go unreported. In response, legislation is being passed across the country, holding banks liable should they fail to report suspicions of elder financial abuse. Currently, 17 states and Washington, D.C. have passed laws that require bank employees to report suspected cases of elder financial abuse. Another 33 states recommend it.

Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, is a comprehensive eLearning program providing training on issues related to elder financial abuse. The course covers: defining elder financial abuse and the laws governing it, detecting the red flags of elder financial abuse and reporting elder financial abuse properly. Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse is geared towards teaching participants how to identify elder abuse and how to protect both their customers and the bank, with accurate, compliant reporting. Upon completion of the program, students will receive a Banker's Academy California Elder Financial Abuse Certification (BACAEFAC) to help advance their career in today's banking industry.
