Research Paper

 1. Conduct the necessary research to familiarize yourself with different organizations, associations, affiliates and accrediting agencies who can provide guidance on the implementation of information governance in the financial services industry. Please summarize and explain the results of your research. 2. Develop/explain the tasks/steps/order for designing and implementing an Information Governance (IG) program at NATIONAL CITY FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATON. I am NOT asking you to give me “the” final Information Governance Program itself. It is far too early in the course for you to be able to develop an Information Governance program. What I am asking you to do is to develop a plan that sets out the tasks to be accomplished and the order (steps) in which the tasks will need to be performed in order to design and implement an IG plan for your organization. This should be the blueprint that you and your team will follow for the next 24 months that have been projected from the date of your first IG Committee/Team meeting to the final implantation of the IG Program. That is, it should explain how you and your team will go about the business of designing and implementing the IG program for the company. It is NOT the IG Program itself. This should be something that you will give your team members to follow, as the “master plan” for accomplishing the goal of IG at NATIONAL CITY FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION, and what each team member’s role is in accomplishing that goal. That is, what tasks are they assigned? What will need to be completed or accomplished before they can begin their respective tasks? You may use diagrams, tables, and any other references that assist in the explanation of your plan for designing and implementing a program of Information Governance at NATIONAL CITY FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION. However, you may NOT substitute your table  or diagram for a complete narrative explanation. Remember, where you formulated any portion of your overall program based upon information from the research you conducted in question 1 above, you must reference your sources in order to avoid suggestions that you have plagiarized. 3. Recall, the author of your text has repeatedly emphasized that above all else you must operate within the confines of the law. Assume NATIONAL CITY FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION primary corporate office is located in Lexington, Kentucky. Conduct the necessary research to familiarize yourself with both the federal and state laws that will must be taken into consideration and/or which will have a direct impact on the financial services industry, and therefore your organization’s information governance plan. You must be able to explain to your team members what these laws are, their sources, how they affect your organization, and what you will do to implement your information governance program within the confines of these laws. Please in writing provide a detailed explanation of the results of your search for legal information in a format that you would be able to hand out to your team members during your next meeting.
