Document Retention Schedule
|
|
A Guide to Help Determine How Long to Keep Important Documents
|
|
| |
The Retention Schedule was determined by a nationwide survey of record retention
schedules recommended by leading authorities on records storage and by the practices of businesses with established
procedures. This schedule reflects standard business practices.
Please Note
A word of caution: Although much study has gone into the preparation of
this schedule, the retention periods shown are not offered as final authority, but as guideposts against which
to check your company needs. Statutes of limitations for your state, as well as regulations of government agencies
pertaining to your business must be considered. Because state retention statutes vary widely on tax, unemployment,
and workers' compensation records, check with your CPA or attorney to approve your records retention timetable
in its final form. Also, there may be very good reasons to keep records longer than legally required, for historical
reference perhaps |
