RECORD RETENTION

This guide is intended to serve only as a tool to assist in developing a document retention policy. The retention

periods listed are minimum suggested periods, however, business practice or lawmay require preserving records

for a longer period of time. You should consult with your counsel or accountant to ensure that your record

retention practice meets both federal and state guidelines and is appropriate for your business. The same rules

apply to electronic record retention. Electronic records must be easily accessible during an audit.
