Answer

Verified against the current Federal Register text of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). Section 307B requires audit working papers prepared, considered, or used for relevant audits or reviews to be retained until 7 years after the auditor report, unless ASIC determines an earlier date. The provision covers individual auditors, audit companies, and members of audit firms, with strict-liability offence provisions and a defence for firm members who did not know of the contravention or took reasonable corrective steps. Electronic working papers count as retained only if convertible into hard copy.
