Jump Start the New Year!

FREE Compliance Training & AAP/APRP CEC from the TPPPA!

We are launching our 2026 CMS Best Practices training series next week and have opened up some of the sessions to the general public.

We will begin the series starting next Wednesday, January 28th at 2:00 PM ET with Industry Best Practices in Payment Processing: TPPPA CMS Control Framework. In this session we will discuss the compliance and risk management control framework of the TPPPA's best practices in Third-Party payment processing, known as the TPPPA Compliance Management System (CMS). We will also discuss how compliance management systems should emphasize fraud risk management, and how to incorporate fraud controls more distinctly into the compliance management programs. This includes fraud risk assessment, fraud policies and procedures, and fraud training.  

Can't make the live webinar? Register for the webinar and a copy of the presentation, and a link to the recording will be sent out to all registrants that can be viewed at a later date.

All sessions in this series, including the recordings, are eligible for up to 1.2 AAP & APRP continuing education credits. Click on the links below to register.

Stay tuned! We will be adding additional public training webinars regularly throughout the year.
