Retire expired card-spend records without audit loss

Data retention decisions often sit between customer promises and finance evidence.

Removing records too late creates exposure, while removing them too early can weaken reconciliation.

I need old records gone when they should be, but not at the expense of a close.

What pulls against what

  • data minimization vs. audit evidence
  • customer schedules vs. fragmented lineage
  • backlog speed vs. deletion confidence

What is at stake

Thousands of records have outlived configured retention periods. The remedy must reduce privacy exposure without breaking finance evidence
