Check fraud has been on the rise since Reg CC took effect, and today's available technologies are helping it to grow even faster—and thieves are increasingly targeting community banks.

Protect your financial institution from check fraud with expert guidance.

Sheshunoff's Check Fraud Protection Manual covers all the relevant compliance and legal issues for all forms of negotiable instruments. The focus is on taking the right steps to help your bank avoid potential liability, so you'll find useful tools like:

Tested, proven internal procedures for reducing your exposure to check fraud. Each chapter gives you specific procedures you can easily adapt to your bank's situation.
Training materials, including tips, guidance, and discussion points at the end of each chapter to ensure your staff knows how to identify and handle a potential check fraud.
Checklists designed to help you detect and prevent check fraud. These practical lists let everyone in the bank become an expert in detecting check fraud.
