What is the criteria for an Important Corporate Document (ICD)?
The criteria for an Important Corporate Document (ICD) varies with each organization. In general, an ICD can be defined as any document that if in a legal case, the actual document (record) would be better evidence than a re-compilation of the document from a data store. An example is a tax return that has a legal requirement for record retention. Invoices, signed contracts, work orders and completed government forms are additional examples.
