““An exhibit qualifies under the business records exception to the hearsay rule when the sponsor of the exhibit shows that it is part of the records kept in the routine course of business and placed in the record by one authorized to do so who had personal knowledge of the transaction represented by the entry. The exception does not mandate that the sponsor of the exhibit personally made.it, filed it, or had first-hand knowledge of the transaction represented by it.” (citation omitted).”

Records contained in the usual course of business are presumed to have been placed there by those who have a duty to so record and have personal knowledge of the transaction represented by the entry, unless there is a showing to the contrary.”
