New Resource Provides Guidelines for Developing Effective Record Retention Schedule

Falls Church, Va. — Every organization has vital business records that it must store and keep up to date. Poor records management can decrease a company’s profits and expose it to compliance actions and legal liability. That’s why it’s absolutely essential for organizations to develop effective records management procedures.

“You need to know what records you have and how long to keep them — legally and for your own business purposes — before you can establish an efficient records management system,” says Business Management Daily’s Senior Web Editor Elizabeth Hall. “That’s why it’s important to inventory your records and draw up a company retention schedule.”
