Notwithstanding a maximum retention period, records related to or involved in litigation, criminal or civil investigation, audit, or needed for ongoing administrative purposes shall be retained as required (i.e., you may keep these records longer than their maximum retention period). There is NO exception to the requirements for the minimum retention of a record.
