Legal issues

Document retention legal implications

As with any document retention process there are legal implications as these documents once processed are in affect a legal document required to be kept for 7 years in purchase ledgers case but in binding contracts can need to be kept indefinitely.

Thus the ability to be able to keep the majority of the documents in image format will logistically free a massive amount of space but also employee time when filing, retrieving and re-filing documents when required.

In some cases the actual signature will be required to be kept however the bulk of the paperwork can be scanned and only the page with the signature is retained.
