Mark Lagondinski, a certified records manager at Ernst & Young, did a great presentation on audits and controls on records retention programs this summer with CGOC.  It is a webcast, so you can watch the replay and get the slide set on the CGOC portal:  www.cgocouncil.com    In my experience, most companies are working on expanding their "records" programs to be "retention" programs that cover all types of data, data sources, and better enable preservation ... and as such, are a bit too early to succeed in an audit!  You might also look at the Citigroup retention program webcast on the CGOC portal as I think they discussed were audit fits into their initiative.

This is one of the main questions I am trying to ascertain with regard to
my posting re vital records audits - do most companies include the vital
records audit as part of their RM audit?  And, do they conduct the audit or
have their internal audit people do it?   Is compliance measured against
processes only or would the audit include a "mock disaster" and the vital
records component evaluated along with the whole business resumption plan?
