Presented by the KPMG Global Energy Institute

On behalf of the KPMG Global Energy Institute and Ryley Carlock & Applewhite, you are cordially invited to participate in an audio Webcast designed to discuss the Records Risk Management process for the energy industry. The panel discussion will address the need for a Records Management program that addresses the legal and regulatory retention requirements, litigation hold processes and the ever increasing demands for companies to protect privacy and safeguard information.

Virtually every record is subject to regulatory guidelines or legal requirements whether they be related to retention, security or privacy. The challenge for organizations in the energy industry is to create and implement the right policies, procedures, processes, technology and controls to minimize the risk associated with their records landscape. The paper records management world focused on inventories and box classification; while paper records management is not going away, the digital world brings new complexities to records management. In the electronic and digital world, there exist e-mails, databases, PDFs, optical write once, voice, proprietary applications, and the like. Managing access, versioning, electronic discovery, and retention policies are challenges making records management more difficult and complex.

KPMG's records risk management approach encompasses industry knowledge, legal knowledge, records management, records production, risk management and controls, content management, technology, and organizational issues. Ginger Menown, KPMG Forensic National Energy Leader, will moderate the Webcast that will highlight how KPMG and a third-party subject matter expert approach records risk management. The panel discussion will feature Leslie Banach, KPMG Advisory Director, and Lorrie Luellig, Ryley Carlock & Applewhite, Attorney, whose practice is focused on records compliance.
