    Not a lot to say:

    ACCA rule book says working papers should be kept for 7 years.

    In addition, they have to be kept securely and confidentiality must be maintained. Ideally they will be stored in a professional facility that guards against fire etc.

    Working papers are the property of the auditors, not the client.
