5 questions

Regarding Your Records Management Program

1. Do you know when (or whether) to archive files?

2. Do you know when (or whether) to destroy archived files?

3. Do you know how to differentiate your archived files that have different destruction dates or have you already segmented archived files by destruction date rather than date of files?

4. Do you know where all the data is in your archived files or would someone have to search throughout many boxes to find it?

5. Are your paper filed tied into your electronic data files so both can be managed simultaneously?
