WEBINAR DETAILS
Although the new digital age can make transactions more convenient, it also complicates record retention for financial institutions.

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.
