The Presentation
What should your pawn compliance include? This is one of the most common questions that we get asked. Should it include Anti-Money Laundering programs only, or all compliance items on a Federal Level. The biggest issue in the country right now is the AML program and most banks are requiring them now in order to keep, or open, a new account. Employee handbooks are an essential as are safety programs. Routine firearm audits are a must if you have an FFL. This stuff does not have to be difficult! We will discuss the bare minimums for the AML and the MLA and answer any questions you may have. Bottom line is you will sleep better at night if you are compliant. The first step is knowing what that entails. Dave, who is the best in the industry at what he does, will leave you in great shape when it comes to compliance in your pawnshop!
