The ABCs of Document Retention & Retrieval

Recorded Session
90 Minutes

Keeping the right records, and being able to find them, protects your organization when legal questions arise. This 90-minute document retention and retrieval training covers why records retention matters and the legal implications and dangers of failing to retain documents.

You'll learn how to form a leadership team to decide which documents should be kept and how, why uniform documents help, and how retention supports risk management and surviving litigation. The session also looks at computer systems that can store and retrieve documents, so the program covers what to keep, who decides and how to find records when they are needed.

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
