What is Records Management?
Records management controls the entire life cycle of the records, from creation or receipt, to maintenance, use and eventual disposal. Records management also provides a basis for accountability and protecting the rights of individuals through the Promotion of Access to Information Act (2 of 2000) and the Constitution (Sec 195, 1996).
