Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates to the Securities Acts Module incl
uded in its Banking Compliance training program.
New York, NY, November 15, 2010 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has made recent updates
to the Securities Acts Module included in its Banking Compliance training progr
am. The Securities Module, which includes the Securities Act of 1933 and the Sec
urities Exchange Act of 1934, has been revised in Focus on Compliance as part of
Edcomm Banker’s Academy’s commitment to providing the most pertinent information to
the global financial services industry.
The Securities Act of 1933 was enacted by Congress in response to the stock mark
et crash of 1929 and the ensuing Great Depression. The Act requires that investo
rs receive significant information concerning securities being offered for publi
c sale, and prohibits deceit, misrepresentations, and other fraudulent activitie
s in the sale of securities to the public.
The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 formed the basis of regulation of the financ
ial markets and their participants in the US, and governs the secondary trading
of securities in the US. The Act also established the Securities and Exchange Co
mmission (SEC), requires securities traders to register with the SEC, imposes sp
ecific disclosures, and prohibits manipulative and deceptive devices in connecti
on with the purchase and sale of securities.
Focus on Compliance, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, is a computer-based, distance-l
earning program that can be delivered via Internet, Intranet or CD. The program
teaches banking compliance in an interactive, self-paced format. Focus on Compli
ance covers: Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), Anti Money Laundering (AML), USA PATRIOT Ac
