What is Records Management?
Records management is the systematic control of all records, regardless
of media format, from their initial creation to final disposition.
Records management includes the development and application of
standards to the creation, use, storage, retrieval, disposal and
archival preservation of recorded information required to administer
and to operate your business.
One of the major objectives of the records management program
is to identify and dispose of unneeded administrative records
logically and legally. Records management helps your business
determine what records need to be kept and for how long. To accomplish
this, Records Schedules are created. A Records Schedule is a document
that describes the records and sets forth the retention time and
conditions for each set of records (or records series). Records
Schedules are also known as Records Retention & Disposition
Authorizations, or RRDAs.
A good, consistant records management program assists your business departments, such as human resources, accounting, finance, etc.., in managing all information,
regardless of form or format. It is important
to realize that, although records can and do exist in a wide variety
of storage media, State and Federal laws still apply to how they
manage the information contained in them.
Why is Records Management Important?
Records management helps to achieve economy and efficiency in
the creation, use, maintenance, and disposal of public records.
Records management also affords legal protection for the institution
as well as satisfying federal and state statutory requirements.
