In today's modern environment, the continuing evolution of technology has had a significant impact on every aspect of our world, affecting big business and our daily personal lives alike.

Regulatory changes will soon be upon us with the modernization of debt collection rules. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is proposing changes to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, first introduced in 1977, that will bring it into the modern era by introducing clarity around the lawful use of newer technologies.

With this, CAS will be involved in helping to advise how technology will impact M&A activities and valuation of companies in the industry as well as assist to position these companies with technology to enhance their value.

Stephanie Eidelman, CEO of the iA Institute said, "We are constantly evolving our approach to industry innovation and CAS adds an important element -- the dynamic between technology, funding, and company value. I'm really looking forward to incorporating the insight and connections that Michael Lamm and his team bring to this part of the equation."

Michael Lamm, Managing Partner of Corporate Advisory Solutions added, "We couldn’t be more excited to work with Stephanie and the insideARM team on the Innovation Council.  The ARM industry is going through a significant technology shift, and the Innovation Council and its members will be on the forefront leading the charge for change in the digital era. This will not only impact how our industry survives, but also how it will thrive when it comes to communications, analytics, payments, and compliance technologies."
