This program identifies the regulations that apply to commercial transactions and explains the specific requirements of each regulation.  It also provides suggestions for avoiding and curing problem areas and for training and auditing.

·        Provides suggestions for avoiding the problems, curing the problems, training, and auditing;

Participants receive a detailed manual that serves as a valuable resource long after the conclusion of the program.
