Legislation set out in The Charities Act 2011 requires charity trustees to preserve a charity’s accounting records for a period of six years following its dissolution. As Charitable Companies, trustees of Multi Academy Trusts must comply with this legislation. The Charity Commission strongly recommends that trustees uphold a similar period of retention for all other important documents such as meeting minutes, meeting agendas, papers and reports.
