Records Manager
Records managers are responsible for the creation, storage,
retrieval and disposal of all recorded information about an
organisation's activities.
This information contributes to what is often called the
'corporate memory' of the organisation, without which an
organisation could not function properly or be held
accountable for its actions.
Records managers may perform the following tasks:
- analyse the information needs of organisations and
develop information plans that reflect these needs
- undertake audits of information created and stored
within the organisation
- develop policies for the distribution and storage of
records, including the incorporation of new information
technologies into the organisation
- create and maintain databases for the control and
retrieval of information
- make sure that all aspects of record keeping adhere to
relevant legislation
- work out periods for which records are to be kept and
make sure that records are disposed of or archived according
to policy and legislative requirements
- make sure that relevant records are made available under
the Freedom of Information Act
- develop disaster plans to make sure that the
organisation has the necessary information to continue
functioning in the event of a major disaster.
Records managers must work closely with all staff members
to make sure that the information systems of the organisation
meet their needs and contribute to organisational objectives.
