Many schedules will be overwritten by the financial schedules approved by the State Records Committee December 8th. You can hear the discussion on the Public Notice Website. To avoid overwhelming everyone, only a few will be posted at a time from the four schedule types (school district, county, state and municipal).
State schedule 2-2, Municipal schedule 3-1 and County schedules 13-8, 5-3 and 3-1 are being overwritten by the new State schedule 7-68 titled “Audited Financial Statements”. If you go to the old schedule on our website, it will be hyperlinked to the new schedule. They are all still permanent. A recommended office retention of 4 years has been added.
Please update your records so the updated retention will be followed from this point going forward.Below is the updated schedule, then the old schedules. If you have any questions, please call us at 801-531-3863.
