Purpose

A. Account Record Creation

All account records should be created promptly at the time of a transaction or event, and should accurately represent the transaction or event to which they relate.

C. Records Retention

All account records will be retained for the period specified by applicable laws and regulations, after which they will be discarded in a secure and appropriate manner.

Compliance

All managers are directly responsible for implementing this policy within their business units. The finance department will periodically conduct an audit to ensure compliance. Any violations of this policy will be dealt with under the company's disciplinary procedures.
