Unit 7 - Records Retention Schedule

You are opening a new business. Select a business of your choice. Think about what records this business would have. For example: lease information, taxes, accounting, banking, credit cards, e-mails and so forth. Make a list of all the records for your business and then search the Internet search for how long these records must be kept for.

Develop a record retention policy that describes how long your critical documents should be maintained and ultimately disposed of. You will need to at least have 20 records for this. Include an opening statement about what type of business that you are creating a retention policy for.
