Lorrin: The SEC changed the regulations by issuing a final rule in January, 2003 which aligns the retention periods to 7 years. You can get the final rule from the SEC webpage: http://www.sec.gov/rules/final/33-8180.htm
A notice of this change was also posted on the ARMA webpage under the Washington Policy Brief shortly after the final rule was issued.

The new Board formed by the SEC to monitor accounting firms is to keep records for seven years, Title I Section 103 (a) (2) (A) (i). The actual accounting firms are to keep records for five years, Title VIII Section 802 part 1520 (a) (1). Seems to be some conflict here. I believe this has been brought up to the SEC by a couple of folks from ARMA.
