Retention and management of records is more complicated than just deciding what to keep and for how long. In what form should records be kept? Should we keep more than what the regulations require? If so, what? What about possible litigation needs?

Examiner expectations must be met, of course, but other parties, such as law enforcement, auditors, and your customers, may require access to information as well. To manage a program in a cost-effective manner, compliance professionals must rely on information from a broad range of resources within the organization.
