New Identity Theft Rule

May 2013

 

In 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-

the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Commodity Futures Trading
Commission (“CFTC”) to the list of federal agencies that must jointly adopt and

20, 2013 and requires all affected firms to have policies and procedures in place by
November 20, 2013.
