How long does a licensee have to keep records of a client?

  1. 1 year

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A licensee is required to keep records of a client for 5 years. Option A, 1 year, is too short of a time frame to ensure proper record keeping and option B, 3 years, may not provide enough information for future reference. Option D, 10 years, might be excessive for most cases and could increase the risk of data breaches if records are kept for too long. Therefore, the recommended period of 5 years allows for proper record keeping while also balancing privacy and security concerns.
