F&I Compliance is No Longer an Option. Stay Current, Stay Protected

When was the last time your dealership took a look at your F&I compliance readiness and procedures? That long, huh?

In an ever-changing regulatory environment within auto sales, it’s more important than ever to make sure your F&I team is up to date on both state and Federal rules because what was once a rule last year has likely changed since. And we all know that with a change in administrations in Washington DC usually comes new rules or changes to existing ones.

Here’s a quick list of the basic topics a strong compliance training system should be offering your team:

Accounting Compliance Checklist Adverse action notices

Cash Reporting Conditional (spot) delivery

Credit Apps Customer signature

Discrimination ECOA

Ethics F&I Menus

F&I Products Fair Credit Reporting Act

FTC Rules (all of them) GAP

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act Menu terms

Negative equity rules Non-negotiables

OFAC Preventing in-dealership theft

Quoting payments Red flag rule

Regs M and Z Retaliation

VSC rules
