The purpose of the Records Management and Retention Policy (PDF) is to ensure that the University has adequate records to allow all applicable University personnel to monitor issues with respect to the bond over time and to enable the University to readily demonstrate to the IRS, upon an audit of any bond issue, that the University has fully complied with all Applicable Federal Law requirements that must be satisfied after the issue date of the bonds so that interest on those continues to be tax-exempt under the Code. Refer to the Post-Issuance Compliance Policy for Tax-Exempt and Tax-Credit Bonds (PDF) and for additional retention specifications.
