The goal of records management is to ensure that records are accurate, complete, and reliable, and can be easily retrieved when needed. This includes developing policies and procedures for the creation, classification, retention, and disposal of records, as well as implementing technology solutions to manage records electronically. Effective records management is essential for compliance with legal, regulatory, and business requirements, as well as for managing risk, reducing costs, and improving productivity.
