Record retention is serious business – and the electronic age further muddies the waters.

Do you know which imaged documents should be kept – or destroyed? Are you complying with your institution’s policy? Does your policy address e-records? Does an imaged document carry the same weight as the original? Uncertain? Attend this webinar to learn the answers to these questions and more.

AFTER THIS WEBINAR YOU’LL BE ABLE TO:

Understand when an imaged document is legally enforceable and when an originally signed document must 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 federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act)

WEBINAR DETAILS

Although the new digital age can make transactions more convenient, it also complicates record retention for financial institutions. Every day, your institution processes many electronic documents and records and relies on numerous 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 they are imaged? It’s more important than ever to understand the rules regarding electronic and imaged documents to adequately protect your financial institution.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This informative session is designed for deposit and loan personnel, including retail officers, commercial officers, technology staff, service personnel, attorneys, compliance officers, auditors, managers, and others involved in creating record retention policies and responding to document requests.
