What this video covers

  • What "promptly" actually means when an associated person learns of a listed event, and why waiting until Monday fails the standard
  • The difference between a customer complaint and a detected identity-theft red flag, and why they are handled as separate buckets
  • Why a detected red flag does not require one fixed response, and what the written prevention program actually mandates
  • How the firm may determine that no response is warranted under particular circumstances, and why zero risk means zero action
  • What to do when one matter includes both a complaint and a detected red flag, and why blending them into one procedure is wrong
  • How to match the response to the actual risk and circumstances rather than triggering a universal alarm
