Records Management
All companies are required to retain business documents and records either to meet their business and administrative needs or to comply with legal and industry regulations. The length of time the records need to be retained depends on its administrative value, it’s vital and historical value and it’s legal or regulatory requirements. With large amounts of documents generated by businesses today, efficient retention of records has become a major challenge.
So why not keep all records forever? Although some records will need to be preserved forever, all records should not be preserved for two primary reasons:
- It’s not cost effective or efficient. Retaining more records than needed or required will increase costs and complexity associated with handling large amounts of records.
- It will expose you to legal risks. If all records are discoverable beyond their retention period, they will need to be provided in an event of a legal challenge, audit or government investigation and can be potentially used against your interests
