Sent by: Records Management Program <[log in to unmask]>
Hello all,
I need information on how oil & gas pipeline companies in Canada handle
accounting records of all media that have really long and permanent
retentions.
I have been researching the Gas Pipeline Uniform Accounting Regulations
and Oil Pipeline Uniform Accounting Regulations. Does anyone know if there
is a difference in retention between "Group 1" vs. "Group 2" companies?
I'm having difficulty finding resources that dictate the retention
periods.
Thanks,
James Kennedy
