Overview (cont.) • Overflowing storage rooms with boxes of paperwork used to remind us to perform an annual purge of documents no longer necessary. • The same process needs to be applied to Munis that we applied to the stockpile of papers we used to accumulate prior to having an electronic method for financial processing. • This session will provide you with the information needed to develop a purge schedule and to complete the purge process in your district.

  4. Overview (cont.) • Munis retains all detail transactions associated with each account in G/L history. • Detail transactions are of little value after several years. • KDE recommends retaining seven years of detail history - current year and six prior years.

  5. District Considerations • Develop a schedule to purge history transactions. • How many years of information do you want to retain? • What time of the year will you purge? (Suggestion: Purge after completion of prior year’s audit and submission of audited AFR to KDE.) • Who will be responsible for the process?
