Register: Suspicious Activity Reports and Their Role in Identifying and Remedying Senior Financial Exploitation Webinar

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) will host a webinar on Feb. 7 that invites Adult Protective Services (APS) agencies and community-based organizations in the aging and disability networks to learn about tools and strategies to address senior financial exploitation. The event will detail how federal agencies are partnering to help law enforcement agencies and financial institutions more effectively respond to this exploitation and how APS and community-based organizations can help. The webinar also will cover how APS can collaborate with law enforcement, financial institutions, and community-based organizations to improve a coordinated community response to financial exploitation so that services to victims and prosecutions of perpetrators are effectively delivered. The event will explain the Memorandum on Financial Institution and Law Enforcement Efforts to Combat Elder Financial Exploitation, issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Treasury Department, and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network on Aug. 30, 2017. The memo urges coordination among law enforcement agencies, financial institutions, and APS agencies and specifies how Suspicious Activity Reports can aid law enforcement probing cases of senior financial exploitation.
