As technology evolves, so too do record retention guidelines. Do you need to retain originals, or will digital versions do the trick?

Does your staff know the difference?  Are your policies up to date with the E-Sign Act requirements?  Learn the answers to these questions and more in this practical webinar.
 
AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:
  • Understand when an imaged document is legally enforceable and when an originally signed document is required to be retained
  • Determine when it is permissible to deliver disclosures, contracts, and statements electronically
  • Analyze your financial institution’s operational requirements regarding electronic records
  • Develop record retention policies for electronic and imaged documents
  • Understand the requirements of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (i.e., the Federal E-Sign Act)

WEBINAR DETAILS

Although the digital age can make transactions more convenient, it also can make record retention more complicated.  Every day, your institution processes numerous electronic documents and records and relies on various imaged documents.  Not all imaged documents are treated the same under the law.  Do you know which originally signed documents must be retained and which can be destroyed after being imaged?  It is more important than ever to understand the rules regarding electronic documents and imaged documents to adequately protect your financial institution.
