Your organization’s records are critical assets,
whether in paper, electronic or other format.
Properly managed and controlled, these
important resources can enable your
organization to compete, comply with laws
and regulations, and mitigate risk.

Just as the human and financial resources of your organization need to be properly managed, protected and controlled to support corporate objectives and satisfy regulatory requirements, so do the records that document your organization’s business activities.
Decisions about what records to create, how to organize them, where and how long to retain them, in what format and by whom need to be established as policies by senior management rather than left to the initiative of workgroups or individual employees.
These policies then need to be communicated and applied corporate-wide and monitored for compliance. Records management policies and their associated processes and tools form the infrastructure required for effective and efficient business operations. These program components help to ensure a systematic and standardized approach to recordkeeping within your organization.
Barbara A. Schwartz & Associates Ltd. can help your company develop, implement and maintain an effective and legally-defensible enterprise-wide program for the managment of its paper and electronic records.
