DR. LINDA EAGLE OF THE EDCOMM GROUP TO BE FEATURED ON WS RADIO TO DISCUSS BANKS AND ELDER FINANCIAL ABUSE

(NEW YORK, NY) – March 4, 2006

Dr. Linda Eagle, President of The Edcomm Group, will be featured on WS Radio’s Coping With Caregiving on Saturday March 4, 2006 at 3:00pm (PST). Dr. Eagle will address the growing concerns of elder financial abuse, what role the banking industry plays in protecting their elderly customers, and how banks can ensure their compliance to the law.

It’s estimated that over 2 million seniors each year are victims of financial elder abuse. Sadly, approximately 84% of elder abuse cases go unreported. The upsurge in elder financial abuse has become a major concern for banks and insurance companies, resulting in the growing need for platform, teller, sales and customer service representatives who are trained to recognize and report such abuse.

In response to this need, The Edcomm Group has created Focus on Elder Financial Abuse, a comprehensive eLearning program providing training on issues related to elder financial abuse. The course covers: protecting elderly customers, detecting red flags of elder financial abuse, banking compliance with federal laws, and reporting elder financial abuse properly, in an interactive eLearning environment designed to increase both comprehension and retention. Focus on Elder Financial Abuse is geared towards teaching participants how to identify elder abuse and how to protect both their customers and the bank, with accurate, compliant reporting.
