Feb 25, 2015

NJ CAR will be hosting its newly updated two-day Dealership Compliance Certification Workshop on March 18-19, 2015. Participants must attend both classes in order to be certified. The 2015 Dealership Compliance Certification has been updated to address a variety of new and emerging compliance issues. The workshop provides every dealership management-level employee with the knowledge they need to ensure compliance with regulations that affect your business, in order to reduce the threat of government fines or private lawsuits.Certification also lets a dealership’s customers know the dealership is committed to professionalism and the highest business standards. It also lets government regulators know that your dealership has made an effort to ensure compliance. This also sends a message that the industry is capable of self-regulation, and burdensome laws and regulations are not needed.The Dealership Compliance Certification Workshop is designed for General Managers, General Sales Managers, Controllers, Office Managers and CFOs. Topics covered during the two-day Program include State and federal regulatory topics, such as:
