We are proud to announce that after many months of research, analysis and drafting, the Auto Advisory Services® Red Flags Guidebook is ready to ship. This Guidebook provides step-by-step guidance to dealers on how to comply with the new Red Flags Rule. More importantly, though, the Guidebook provides a comprehensive and customizable Red Flags Program, making implementation of your Identity Theft Prevention Program (ITPP) relatively simple.

We think you will find that our Guidebook is more comprehensive and easier to use than any other material produced on this subject. Moreover, it is specifically geared towards dealership operations, a specialty of Auto Advisory Services®.

The Auto Advisory Services® Red Flags Guidebook not only provides you with a sample ITPP but it also includes other essential policies related to:
- Taking Internet and telephone credit applications;
- Off-site delivery and other “customer not present” scenarios;
- Customer identification procedures;
- Customer information collection procedures; and
- Information access.

This Guidebook also features an easy to use sample worksheet that sales and finance personnel may complete prior to delivering vehicles pursuant to a retail installment sale or lease transaction. The front side of this worksheet contains the relevant identity theft Red Flags provided by the FTC as well as many more that we have identified based upon our experience with actual cases of dealership-related identity theft. The back side of the worksheet provides personnel with a step-by-step response to detected Red Flags. This innovative and easy to use worksheet will be made available to dealers across the country through Reynolds and Reynolds Integrated Document Solutions division.

Each of the following eight steps is detailed in the guidebook:
Step 1: Appoint a Red Flags Manager
Step 2: Conduct a risk assessment
Step 3: Create a written Red Flags Program
Step 4: Have board of directors approve Red Flags Program
Step 5: Train appropriate dealership personnel
Step 6: Monitor service providers
Step 7: Keep program up-to-date
