August marks the month for businesses to implement identity theft programs to comply with the Fair & Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. Specifically, Title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 681 requires all financial institutions and creditors to establish a written program to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft. “Identity theft” is defined as a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority (see 16 CFR 603.2(a)). The FTC has advised that high risk entities should have more elaborate programs, while low risk entities could have streamlined and less complex programs. In creating their programs, all entities are encouraged to give due regard to specific guidelines provided in an appendix to Part 681.
