Benoit, Robertson to speak at F&I Week

Two of the industry's leading authorities on compliance, Michael Benoit and Dave Robertson, will hold a joint presentation at Automotive News F&I Week in June.

Robertson is executive director of the Association of Finance & Insurance Professionals. Benoit is a partner in the Washington office of Hudson Cook LLP. They will lead a Webinar entitled "How to Successfully Navigate F&I Rules and Regulations."

The pair will discuss the impact of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and other pending regulations that affect F&I departments. They will also provide "how to" tips on satisfying the Risk-Based Pricing Rule, the New Safe Harbor Privacy Notice, the Red Flags Rule and the Safeguards Rule.

"How to Successfully Navigate F&I Rules and Regulations" will be one of six online Webinars that will constitute F&I Week over the course of three days, June 7-9.

F&I Week is designed for dealer principals and the managers who navigate the challenges unique to the F&I department. The event is being held in conjunction with AFIP.

In his role at Hudson Cook, Benoit advises banks, finance companies, auto-leasing companies, auto dealers, and other creditors and technology providers on a wide range of consumer financial services law.
