I thought it was three years for the tax man but you could be right.
and in medical negligence court cases it can be 21+7 years plus.
I don't think financial records are relevant to medical negligence
cases. There would be no medico legal reason to retain them for more
than 7 years.
The ultimate repository of medical billing data is held by Medicare
Australia.
Most would have the backup disc and just hope someone could read it if
ever required.
Unlicensed copies of most medical software will permit read only access.
In any event, it's doubtful that anyone has ever tested the restore of
the backup. ;-(
