financial records
Books of accounts
Financial records are the documents and data that track money coming in and going out of a person, business, or organization.
These include bank statements, invoices, receipts, tax returns, and accounting ledgers.
Individuals keep financial records to manage budgets and file taxes; businesses maintain them for regulatory compliance, audits, and decision-making.
The IRS requires you to keep financial records for at least seven years.
