The SEC and CFTC alone issued fines of more than $2 billion for this very issue, including fines in the tens and hundreds of millions (with more expected to come). The U.S. Department of Justice has also emphasized that all corporations must have proper document retention policies and procedures in place for mobile devices to retain, preserve, collect and disclose relevant documents, be they in the United States or overseas.

In light of record retention policies and procedures becoming a more intense focus for regulators and authorities worldwide, we will share proactive steps you can take to minimize reputational risks and reduce your exposure to fines and enforcement actions.

Who should attend:

  • Investment advisers
