If an auditor visits a broker's office in Ohio, how many years of records are required?

One year is insufficient for record retention in Ohio. This duration would not allow adequate time for resolving potential disputes or completing post-closing matters, creating compliance risks for brokers during audits.

Two years falls short of Ohio's requirement. This retention period would leave brokers vulnerable during audits and would not properly document transactions that might have extended closing periods or post-closing issues.

Four years exceeds Ohio's requirement. While longer retention might seem safer, it's not mandated and could create unnecessary storage costs and administrative burden without providing additional legal protection.
