Compli Launches Compliance Risk Appraisal Tool for Automobile Dealerships

PORTLAND, Ore.--Dec. 1, 20052, 2005--Compli(r) has launched its new online Dealer Compliance Appraisal (DCA) tool at http://www.compli.com/appraisal/ (http://www.compli.com/appraisal/). This unique tool enables an auto dealer to conduct an assessment of the dealership's existing methods of compliance with regulations and employment practices. The quick, 10-minute appraisal survey is derived from Compli's proprietary Good-Faith Compliance Framework and dealership compliance effort-weighting scale.

Auto dealerships are one of the most highly regulated industries in the U.S. Regulations include those pertaining to finance and insurance (F&I), consumer communication, sales management, desking, employment practices, environmental quality, workplace safety, and Regulations M and Z. Dealerships are also subject to regulation by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).

Dealer Compliance Index Provided to Dealerships at No Charge

After a dealer submits a completed DCA survey, Compli provides a complimentary assessment in the form of a custom Dealer Compliance Index (DCI). The DCI is a measure of the dealership's current level of potential compliance liabilities by possible source. The appraisal answers the questions: "What is our current level of compliance and where do we face compliance risks?"

The new Compli DCA generates a clear, visual report card of compliance strengths and weaknesses, giving a dealership actionable information that can be used to improve its overall liability profile. The appraisal tool also gives the dealer online access to details about the specific areas of concern, including those with the highest element of risk based on the survey outcome.
