Randy brought up an excellent point. If the bank has a record retention schedule, adhere to it!
I know a bank that it passed its examination with no issues. The examiners have a few extra days on the job and someone from the headquarters was coming down to talk to the bank. The examiners, to look busy, grabbed a few files from prior periods. They discovered exceptions in the files, and the clean exam changed quickly.
