Since records are typically managed on a periodic basis, organization of completed event-based records by year of completion is ordinarily sufficient to accomplish efficient retention and destruction of records. Folder structures can be organized for a closer adherence to minimum retention requirements for sensitive records by using month folders, or a similar finer level of detail in a date-based minor group.
