sarbanes oxley, other reporting requirements. As systems become faster, companies need to save more data. Where I work, we need to be able to reproduce finance reports created years ago using the original data. Doing that makes things far more complex. When I started out decades ago, systems were far less complex. Note, the IRS is our best friend. Without them, most of us would be doing something else (if we are very lucky).
