TAMPA, Fla. -

Risk management and training provider Recovery Industry Services Company (RISC) recently announced its 10th continuing education course is now available completely online with special 50-percent discount on registration.

The latest course covers anti-corruption/bribery matters as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The material is designed to benefit professional recovery agents and recovery agency owners in meeting current and future compliance mandates.

RISC went on to emphasize the new online course also will assist collateral recovery professionals in understanding how anti-corruption/bribery safeguards and ADA legislation affect a collateral recovery business, both in the field and in the office.

The CE 10 course is priced at $49 through Feb. 5.

 “When choosing a continuing education provider, it’s vital to evaluate the program’s effectiveness in preparing collateral recovery professionals to be successful in the courts and on the streets,” said RISC president Stamatis Ferarolis, a licensed training instructor for collateral recovery specialists nationwide and co-author of the Field Recovery Specialist Operations Manual.

“For decades, the RISC team has been dedicated to developing compliance solutions exclusively for the collateral recovery industry,” Ferarolis continued. “Through education, training and technology, we prepare you for continued career growth in a rapidly evolving profession.”

The anti-corruption/bribery section of the course explains how to identify these criminal offenses and prevent them from occurring in a collateral recovery business. Ferarolis highly recommended that recovery agency owners ensure their employees receive ongoing, mandatory training specific to anti-corruption/bribery and that this training be documented.

The Americans with Disabilities Act Section of the course examines how this civil rights law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities, including in the area of employment. The course material provides recovery agencies with guidance in formulating their corporate operational policies in compliance with federal law.

RISC’s continuing education courses are designed to meet current lender and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) compliance mandates in areas such as data security, field recovery procedures and the Uniform Commercial Code. The training provided is applicable in all 50 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

Each course is offered online, including final testing, and a certificate of completion is issued upon successful completion of each continuing education course. Additionally, the newest material is accredited for eight hours of continuing education requirements in Louisiana.
