WEBINAR DETAILS

Financial institutions maintain enormous volumes of records across deposit operations, lending, compliance, human resources, accounting, treasury management, electronic banking, and corporate governance documents. Determining what must be retained, how long records should be kept, when records may be destroyed, and how electronic records should be managed has become increasingly complex in today’s digital environment.

This webinar will help you understand the operational, regulatory, and legal considerations surrounding record retention and destruction practices. Attendees will receive practical guidance concerning common categories of records, retention timeframes, electronic storage considerations, destruction procedures, and documentation practices that support regulatory expectations.
