Document Retention Policy
A formal governance policy that specifies how long different types of corporate records must be maintained, how they should be stored, and when they can be destroyed. Document retention policies cover board minutes, financial records, contracts, tax filings, employee records, and correspondence. These policies help organizations comply with legal requirements, manage litigation risk, and maintain organized governance records. They are required for nonprofits and strongly recommended for all corporations.
