Location and Retention

Where should the books and records of a registered charity be kept?

The treasurer of our charity prefers to keep our registered charity’s books and records at his house. Is that okay?

Our charity has information and documents —all related to our charitable activity — located outside Canada. Do I need to concern myself about these?

How long does our charity need to hold on to its books and records?

Does the six-year retention period mean that we can destroy all of our financial information every six years?
