In this webinar, we will be discussing the importance of Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA) and the regulations that explain why our roles as practitioners have become critical. Identities, both personal and business, are valuable products for those who steal them and sell them for their benefit.
This course is about much more than merely stealing identities. Situations such as innocent spouse cases with the IRS may put you in another risk area. Come to hear Dawn W. Brolin, CPA, CFE, and Eric Green, Esq. discuss the importance of identity protection, your involvement, and responsibilities.
