Record retention

Reporting & records

The statutory minimum period a record must be kept. AML/CTF records: 7 years (most classes; see ss.107–116 for class-specific start clocks). NSW incident registers: minimum 3 years from entry. RSA/RCG documentation: typically aligned to staff employment + reasonable margin. CL1002 self-audit evidence: until the next inspection cycle at minimum. Different start clocks per class — the AMLCO maintains a consolidated schedule.

This term sits in the reporting & records section of the working glossary — vocabulary for statutory reporting cadences, evidence retention, and inspection-ready record discipline.
