Vladimir:
As with most laws (state and federal) the law itself sets the policy and
may not include actual retention requirements.  Most agencies will set
regulations to assure compliance with the law, and that's where you will
probably find the retention requirements.  For federal law that would be
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).  The links I sent earlier mention
some of CFRs for the SEC.

Subject: SOX

I understand that SOX makes it a crime to destroy documents when an
Individual knows an investigation is pending or imminent. However, does
SOX actually have a section that mentions the number of years
organizations must keep records that were reviewed as part of the
financial statement audit?

Thanks in advance!!
