Telecom Credit Union Chooses The Edcomm Group to Deliver Elder Financial...

Telcom Credit Union has chosen The Edcomm Group to deliver Elder Financial Abuse compliance training for its bank-wide training needs. Telcom also chose to implement Edcomm's8217;s own LMS, Learning Link® for hosting and maintenance.



With more than 5 million cases per year, financial abuse of elders is the number one crime committed against persons age 65 and older. Currently, 17 states and Washington, D.C. have passed laws that require bank personnel to report suspected cases of elder financial abuse. Another 33 states recommend it. At the federal level, substantive revision to the Elder Justice Act is in discussion and is expected to pass this year.



The Edcomm Group has been a driving force in the campaign to educate bank personnel about elder financial abuse. Edcomm's8217;s course, Focus on Elder Financial Abuse, is designed to help banks cope with the new laws targeting elder financial abuse by teaching front line staff about how to best serve their elderly customers while reducing risk to the bank.



Focus on Elder Financial Abuse 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 Elder Financial Abuse teaches employees in all bank departments how to identify elder abuse and how to protect both their customers and the bank, with accurate, compliant reporting.



Learning Link®, Edcomm's8217;s full-featured learning management system has an open architecture that builds on industry-standard SCORM and AICC compliance, but adds features and capabilities far beyond any competing products. Learning Link® maintains a complete record of every learning and administrative activity and offers a wide variety of customizable, real-time reports available both onscreen and in CSV formats for download and integration into any HR system. Learning Link's8217;s servers have been issued a SAS-70 attesting to the quality of their security, business continuity and performance.
