The FCI Education Committee (Edcom) and the FCI Business & IT Solutions Committee (Comcom) worked closely together to create a new Operational Workshop on International Factoring and edifactoring.com, which introduces participants to the operational and legal environment of the FCI Two-Factor platform. After a very successful workshop in Vienna, in May 2016, we now invite especially our members in Taiwan to attend the second workshop in this series, but the workshop will also be open, as usual, for attendants from other countries. OBJECTIVES The main objective of this Workshop is to show how to handle the FCI Two-Factor business both as Export and Import Factor. The second objective of this Workshop is to show you how to use edifactoring.com properly and efficiently, including tips and tricks to simplify your daily work. Besides, like in all FCI educational events, you will have ample opportunities to meet new colleagues, exchange experiences and discuss bilateral business. WHO SHOULD ATTEND? The Operational Workshop is a MUST for new FCI members and ex-ifg members who were not involved in FCI two-factor business before the FCI-IFG integration. The workshop is designed for staff members operating at junior and/or experienced levels who are involved in the day-to-day operations of the FCI twofactor system, i.e. employees working in the international department, client management department, collection and operation department, risk monitoring department. For new and/or smaller members of FCI, the management would also be part of this target group. It is an absolute requirement that each delegate brings his/her own laptop to the workshop. STYLE AND CONTENTS This brand-new Training will focus primarily on the operations of the FCI Two-Factor business and the use of edifactoring.com messages, business rules and their implications for dayto-day business.

Members of the FCI Edcom and the FCI Comcom will act as presenters and instructors in all sessions of the training. The workshop will cover two full days, Thursday 23 March and Friday 24 March.
