November 18, 2008 - Press Release
Winners This Year Chosen for Distinction in Risk Management Practices
Deerfield Beach, FL — CenterOne Financial Services LLC (CenterOne), a division of World Omni Finance Corp. (World Omni), was recently selected as one of four recipients of Auto Finance News' 2008 Auto Finance Excellence Awards, presented at the Las Vegas Auto Finance Summit in October.
The distinguished award celebrates achievement in the automotive lending and leasing industry. Award recipients were chosen from nominations by industry executives and after careful consideration by the board of advisors of the Auto Finance Summit and the editors of Auto Finance News.
With risk-related issues at the forefront of auto finance improvements, CenterOne demonstrated foresight when it bolstered its framework of operational risk management, Auto Finance News officials said. Starting last year, CenterOne set up a compliance office, a business process office and a 10-person quality assurance group to regularly review systems and procedures. The company has also added a user-provisioning project that automatically ties users' IDs to functions within the corporate systems that they are allowed to access.
"CenterOne provides sales finance and lease account servicing to more than 100 banking and financial organizations worldwide," said Ed Brown, World Omni Group Vice President. "In today's economy, it is critical to mitigate risk and thereby reduce losses. All of the World Omni companies, including DataScan Technologies, DataScan Field Services and Southeast Toyota Finance, have enhanced risk management practices in 2008."
