Every participating depository financial institution, third-party sender and third-party service provider that offers ACH services to an ODFI or RDFI must complete an annual ACH audit by December 31. This 90-minute ACH Rules compliance audit webinar walks through the process step by step.
The audit means examining every ACH process you take part in, then running a compliance test on each against the Nacha Operating Rules. You'll learn who must audit, the general audit requirements in Article 1, the tools in the Nacha Operating Guidelines and how much flexibility the ODFI, RDFI, TPSP and TPS each have.
The session also covers unauthorized return processes with ODFI monitoring, ACH Contact Registry verification and tips for building your own audit.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Rule changes affect what your annual audit must test, and missing a requirement puts your institution out of compliance with the Nacha Operating Rules. This session helps you build a personalized audit based on the ACH activities you actually use.
It suits ACH operations staff and managers, compliance officers, treasury and electronic payments professionals, third-party payment processors and senders, and internal and external ACH auditors.
