Certain federal banking agencies issued final rules on the implementation of FACTA to take effect January 1, 2008.

The Knowledge Congress has assembled a panel of experts in the field of banking and finance and key regulators from the government to speak in a two-hour teleconference and webinar that will discuss the key features of this new regulation as well as its impact on the financial world.
