Records required to be kept by a Utah Corporation
The Utah statutes regarding corporation are found at Utah Statutes Title 16, Chapter 10a. The particular section that deals with what records are required to be kept by the corporation specifically is Utah Statues Section 16-10a-1601. The requirements are broken down by statue into two groups; those that are required to be kept as permanent records and those that are required to be kept at its principal office. In addition there are records required to be kept but that the statute neither states where or for how long.

The Utah corporate records that are required to be kept permanently are:
1. Minutes of all meetings of Shareholders;
2. Minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors;
3. Records of all actions taken by Shareholders or the Board of Directors without a meeting;
4. Records of all actions taken by a Committee of the Board of Directors on behalf of the Corporation;
5. Records of all waivers of Notices of Meetings of Shareholders, Board of Directors or Committees of the Board of Directors.

The Utah corporate records that are required to be kept at the corporation's principal office are:
1. The current Articles of Incorporation;
2. The current Bylaws;
3. The previous three years of Minutes of all Meetings of Shareholders and records of all actions taken by Shareholders without a meeting;
4. The previous three years of all written communications to Shareholders as a group and to holders of any class or series of shares as a group;
5. A list of names and business addresses of its current officers and directors;
6. The most recent annual report submitted;
7. The previous three years of prepared Financial Statements.

Additionally, a Utah corporation is required to:
1. Maintain "appropriate accounting records";
2. Maintain a record of the names and addresses of shareholders in a particular way.

A Utah corporation may maintain these records in written form or electronically as long as the electronic records are capable of being reproduced in written form.
