Overview
For financial institutions, your records and files, both paper and electronic, must be meticulously managed and maintained in an effort to ensure your data is kept up to date and in compliance with a variety of legal standards. The future of your organization depends on it. Does your company have systematic, comprehensive policies and procedures that ensure you're retaining and destroying records appropriately, or could you be headed for legal hot water?
Creating policies and processes for organizing, storing, archiving, and destroying any organization's critical business documents can be overwhelming — but for financial institutions, it's even more complex given the legal guidelines that must be followed at all times. Not only is it important to know what information is stored, how it's stored, and where, it's imperative that documents and files be destroyed appropriately and in a timely manner to comply with government regulations. In today's volatile political and legal climate, financial institutions must make every effort to meet national and state rules and regulations.
