FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
05/29/2018 – TAMPA, Fl. – Recovery Industry Services Company (RISC), the industry leading compliance education and training company, is today announcing the acquisition of Recovery Standard Training.
The Recovery Standard training curriculum, created and maintained by Hudson Cook, will soon be added to RISC’s CARS certification and continuing education programs.

Commenting on the acquisition, Stamatis Ferarolis, founder and chief executive officer of RISC says, “We are excited about this transaction which represents unification of robust education curriculum offered to the collateral recovery industry. The course material and software platform developed by Recovery Standard adds extensive value to RISC’s industry leading CARS certification program. This acquisition helps standardize vendor training and certification allowing repossession companies, national forwarders and lenders access to the most comprehensive option for ongoing compliance training.”
“I am pleased to join forces with RISC to deliver the most up-to-date compliance curriculum for third-party vendors and automotive lenders. RISC’s advocacy for professional repossession demonstrates a commitment to compliance, much like our mission at Recovery Standard Training, making it a clear choice to move forward with this opportunity and bring more unification to the collateral recovery industry,” added Brad Shrader, chief executive officer of Recovery Standard Training.
Auto finance lenders expect third party vendors to meet ongoing compliance standards while ensuring agents are annually trained and comprehensively vetted.
