“Dave brings the experience of training and certifying countless F&I professionals to our stage,” said David Gesualdo, publisher of Auto Dealer Monthly and F&I and Showroom magazines. “He sets high standards for front-end compliance as well as personal accountability for AFIP-certified finance managers and directors.”

Compliance Summit will also include sessions dedicated to Rules and Regulations and Your Responsibilities as well as an open-forum discussion titled “Is it Compliant?”
“When it comes to regulatory compliance, dealers are looking for help,” Robertson said. “I’ll make certain you don’t leave empty handed.”
