ACH participants must take action to control risk in any payment system — including the ACH Network. The 8th edition provides the latest information on Nacha’s strategies to identify and mitigate risks and provides recommendations for developing an effective risk management program for any organization involved in the creation or processing of ACH transactions. The threats to ACH payments are not unique to the ACH Network and the lessons learned can be applied to create a holistic payments risk management program. In addition, case studies are included in each chapter to offer realistic examples to assist you in evaluating and implementing your risk management program. This manual is an invaluable tool for individuals building or improving the Risk Management programs at their organization and for candidates studying for the AAP or APRP exams.
