Understand the context of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), which was enacted to improve corporate governance and accountability, particularly in financial reporting and auditing.
Recognize that SOX requires accountants and auditors to retain financial documents and audit work papers for a specific period to ensure transparency and compliance.

Identify the correct retention period mandated by SOX, which is 7 years, as specified in the legislation.
Compare the given options (5 years, 7 years, 3 years, 10 years) and confirm that the correct answer aligns with the legal requirement of 7 years.
