PAR Training Mandate

Last week PAR North America announced that effective January 1, 2012 all PAR agents will be required to submit proof of certification training.

RISC manages and offers the C.A.R.S. - Certified Asset Recovery Specialist program, which meets and exceeds their training requirement. C.A.R.S. is the oldest and most comprehensive program offered to the collateral recovery industry. It has been accepted as home study in the States of FL, IL, and LA. It's the only training program that can boast this. Clients and industry leaders like DRN have endorsed the C.A.R.S. program for years as well.

You may register for the course at: http://www.riscus.com/ecomCars.aspx

You can also read below some of the recent testimonials we've received from clients and graduates:

"The CARS curriculum not only provides our staff with a thorough understanding of the industry and recovery field operations, enabling us to strengthen our partnership with the recovery agents, it also provides our staff with the knowledge necessary to effectively manage the recovery operations on behalf of our lienholder clients."

"I have read, researched and taken many educational courses on countless subjects pertaining to the recovery process. Never have I come across anything so meaningful and so structured, easy to read and cross reference. Not only does this cover all applicable laws and regulations, but it provides meaningful scenarios and helpful information for everyone in the recovery industry, from business owner, to agent/drivers, to office staff."

"A program we often suggest to Vendors and is accepted throughout the Industry is the Certified Asset Recovery Specialist or C.A.R.S. Certification program offered by RISC - Recovery Industry Service Company. This program is offered in 3 versions: National, FL Version & CA Version."

ARE YOU PLANNING ANY LARGE EQUIPMENT PURCHASES?

If the answer to that question is yes, then you should seriously consider making those purchases and taking delivery of the equipment before December 31, 2011.

The chart below reflects the huge reduction in what businesses will be able to write-off in the year of purchase. Depending on the tax bracket that you are in a $500,000 equipment purchase this year could save you as much as $175,000 in taxes. In 2012 that same purchase would save you approximately $130,000. You don't lose the balance of the savings, but it's extended over the life of the equipment.

So, if you're considering a purchase, consider making it now. However, be sure and speak with your tax advisor to see how this purchase would impact you based on your circumstances. If you don't have a tax advisor, our CPA would be available to assist you. Her contact information is listed below.

Here is the summary chart:

Calendar	Section 179	Bonus
Year	Limit	Depreciation
2011	$500,000	100%
2012	125,000	50%
2013 (estimated)	125,000	0%
