Good Morning,

 

I am shortly going to be identifying vital records for the organization
that I am working in.  We are just at the beginning stages of setting up
a Records Management system.  Here is my "dilemma".  I have done some
research to try and get a better idea of what constitutes a vital record
and in my travels have come across conflicting opinions. The majority of
sources that I've consulted have included things like accounts payable
and receivable files, client lists, payroll records; however other
sources I consulted have omitted these or have contradicted this.  I
understand that what constitutes a vital record may vary from
organization to organization, but I would like to know from list member
if they have included these in their vital records program?

 

My rationale for possibly including these are that after an "event" in
order to resume business you would need the legal documents i.e.
business license etc, and to stay in business you would need to have
monies coming in (receivables), know what your financial obligation are
(payables), and who your clients are.  In addition you would need to be
able to run key software and hardware systems i.e. accounting.  I know
there are other categories of records that I haven't mentioned but
wanted to get a general idea of what others are doing?

 

Thanks
