Notes
The Finance Division is normally the official record holder of financial statements and reports. Departments and Offices that hold unofficial copies of financial statements and reports, should retain these documents until no longer needed, and then confidentially destroy them. If a department or office holds a copy of a statement or report that is not held by the Financial Division, consult with the Tufts Archival Research Center about how long to retain these records.
Official Copy of Financial Statements and Reports
The Finance Division manages a wide range of financial statements and reports. The retention and disposition of financial statements and reports managed by the Finance Division are detailed in the Finance Division Records Policy.
