Overview of the webinar

The NACHA Operating Rules and Guidelines require that all participating depository financial institutions, third-party senders and third-party service providers that provide ACH services conduct an annual ACH audit to be performed by December 31 of each year (ACH Rules, Article 1).

With the requirement that each participant conducts an annual ACH audit, this helps ensure that electronic payments work safely and efficiently for all users.

Who should attend?

  • ACH Operations staff 

  • Compliance Officers 

  • ACH Auditors

Why should you attend?

Due to a recently approved amendment to the NACHA Operating Rules, Appendix 8 has been removed from the Rules (Appendix 8 was the “guide” or checklist while completing the annual ACH Audit).

With this change, this session will outline what this Rules change means to your process when conducting your ACH Audit and offer tips and guidance for creating your own personalized ACH Audit (based on what ACH activities you utilize).
