A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE
Fictional records job REC-73 organises 240 loose business papers into twelve client-defined monthly folders and creates a document register. The example register distinguishes purchase receipt, supplier invoice, customer invoice copy and bank correspondence without asserting accounting treatment. Output is an inventory, filed originals and a query envelope for undated/ambiguous papers. Bookkeeping, tax filing, legal retention advice, document destruction and altering source records are excluded. The business's accountant or authorised owner sets categories and retention rules.
