I'm archiving/destroying data (both personal and non-personal) and I
have many years of charity accounts that I administer on behalf of my
organisation.
I assumed that the retention period for the annual accounts would be
similar to other financial information (6 years + 1) but I'd thought I'd
check on the Charity Commission's website, upon which I found a document
call 'Buzzacott - Retention of Accounting Records'.
In this it states I should keep charity annual accounts 'permanently'
and that the reason for this is the 'Data Protection Act'.
This is totally wrong isn't it? I'm starting to question myself as it
seems so blatantly incorrect.
Thanks
Steve
