WEBINAR DETAILS
RTP Operating Rules section IX.A.2 requires
every RTP Participant to complete an annual self-audit verifying compliance
with the Participation Rules and the Operating Rules.
Participants must complete and sign the Self-Audit Form and submit it to The
Clearing House (TCH) by March 31 of the following year. TCH does not prescribe
a specific audit methodology, but it does identify a comprehensive list of key
topics that Participants are expected to evaluate.
This session will walk RTP Participants through how
to actually conduct the annual self-audit. Drawing directly from TCH’s Self-Audit
Workbook and the RTP Operating Rules effective September 30, 2026, the
session will cover all 35 key topics across general Participant
responsibilities, fraud and risk monitoring, errors and unauthorized payments,
the Request for Payment (RFP) lifecycle, and
Participant-as-Sending-Participant-of-PSP-customers’ requirements. Attendees
will leave with a section-by-section audit checklist, a completion guide, and a
clear path to finishing the self-audit by the March 31 deadline.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
- Internal auditors and supervisory committee members at RTP Participant institutions
- RTP operations and faster payments managers responsible for RTP compliance
- BSA/AML officers, OFAC compliance staff, and fraud risk managers handling RTP transactions
- Compliance officers and risk officers overseeing RTP operations
- Vendor/TPSP risk managers and IT security staff supporting RTP infrastructure
TAKE-AWAY TOOLKIT
