Welcome to the 2025 1-Hour ID SAFE Continuing Education Course. In this course, we will discuss two important topics: prohibited acts and financial fraud. Chapter 1 will discuss what is considered a prohibited act for both an MLO and a mortgage company. We will also discuss the Idaho Department of Finance (ID-DOF) and its responsibilities surrounding examinations, investigations, and penalties. In Chapter 2, we will discuss financial fraud, specifically Idaho’s Financial Fraud Prevention Act. We will also discuss elder financial exploitation and the spotlight the ID-DOF and federal regulators are placing on it.
