Navigating The Perils of Document Preservation: Tax-Exempt Organizations and Document Retention Policies

This OnDemand Webinar will help you understand why the Internal Revenue Service and others insist on requiring that tax-exempt entities adopt and implement document retention policies. Further, this program will assist your compliance team by providing tips on drafting and administering your organization’s retention policy and on educating its employees and volunteers about the policy. When properly designed and enforced, document retention policies will save your organization time and money while retaining its institutional knowledge and minimizing its risks.
