Audits don't have to be scary

But when your compliance program is held together by scattered spreadsheets, inherited processes, and requirements added one at a time, it can be difficult to know what might be lurking in the shadows.

Every originator review can feel like reaching into the candy bowl and hoping for the best. Fine on October 31. Less fine when an examiner is holding the bowl.

Many programs cover the obligations on paper but provide little visibility into an institution's actual risk — leaving your team scrambling to determine whether an examiner will uncover a trick.

Affirmative Technologies and Nacha are teaming up to show you what a modern ACH compliance program looks like from end to end, including originator due diligence at onboarding, ongoing monitoring, return rate thresholds, documentation, and reporting. Nacha will explain what the Rules require and highlight the gaps institutions most often overlook.

We're also joined by guest speakers from NEACH and the Southern Financial Exchange (SFE), who will bring the regional view: what they're seeing across member institutions and where programs tend to break down in practice. Affirmative will then demonstrate what changes when your program runs on consolidated data instead of scattered files and manual processes.

When ACH, wire, and remote deposit capture activity are brought together, there is no need to reach in blind. You can identify which originators are the full-size candy bars, which deserve a closer look before receiving a higher limit, and which no longer need to haunt your team's review queue.

You'll leave with

  • A clearer understanding of what the Nacha Rules expect from your monitoring program
  • What NEACH and SFE are seeing across member institutions in their regions
  • Insight into the gaps examiners are most likely to notice
  • A practical path for closing those gaps before they become frightening findings
  • A more focused review process that helps your team spend time where it matters most

Five perspectives on what a compliance program should cover

The Rules, the regional view, and what changes when your data is consolidated.
