New York, NY, August 30, 2010 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to its California Elder Financial Abuse for Credit Unions training program for 2010. Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse for Credit Unions has been revised as part of Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s ongoing commitment to providing the most up-to-date and pertinent financial services information as the banking industry enters a new decade.

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 credit union employees to report suspected cases of elder financial abuse. Another 33 states recommend it.

Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse for Credit Unions, 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 how to properly report elder financial abuse. Focus on California Elder Financial Abuse for Credit Unions is geared towards teaching participants how to identify elder abuse and how to protect both their customers and the credit union, with accurate, compliant reporting.
