THE EDCOMM GROUP ANNOUNCES NEW EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT FEATURE TO ENSURE BANK REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

(NEW YORK, NY) – May 7, 2006

The Edcomm Group announces a new employee acknowledgement feature within their eLearning training programs — further ensuring regulatory compliance for its banking clients.

The addition of this feature is in response to increased requests from banks asking for a function requiring their employees to formally acknowledge understanding of the compliance laws governing the banking industry.

“Bank examiners from the OCC and FDIC recommend the acknowledgement feature,” states Dr. Linda Eagle, President of The Edcomm Group. She adds, “This feature gives the examiners, the auditors and the management team exactly what they need. It’s all about accountability, which must start at the individual employee level. Through the acknowledgement, the trainee is declaring ‘I’ve done more than just take the tests. I understand what I’ve learned and I agree to follow proper policy.’”

Eagle pointed to the acknowledgement feature as one more example of Edcomm listening to its clients and responding. “Employee acknowledgements can be incorporated into any of Edcomm’s many training courses. The acknowledgement is fully customizable for any bank’s needs and can be tracked through Learning Link®, Edcomm’s full-featured learning management system, or any other third party LMS.”

Eagle said, “Our bankers asked us for this because the regulators asked them for this. No problem. Done.”
