Section II--Computerized Bank Records
AUTOMATED SYSTEMS QUALIFICATIONS AND DEFINITIONS
The following statements are extremely important when applying the recommendations stated in this schedule to your bank.
Within this schedule terminology and descriptive phrases are listed to identify types of records rather than specific titles which may be meaningful only to a few banks. If a bank does not maintain records enumerated herein but maintains a similar record with equivalent information, the bank's records should be retained for the period of time specified herein as to the equivalent record. If a record is not included in this schedule, the applicable federal or state regulation would apply. The described retention periods are minimum periods and may be increased at the discretion of the individual bank. Photographic copies or reproductions of records shall be treated as the equivalent of an original record. (See Code of Laws 1976 Sec. 34-3-540.)
DATA PROCESSING DEPARTMENT
Note: When a report generated by electronic data processing equipment is the original document (such as general ledgers, check registers, etc.) the retention periods for the records are described under the applicable record title. Generally, copies of reports will not be retained in the data processing department, but will be the responsibility of the department receiving the report. (See end of this regulation for meaning of abbreviations.)
