Risk management is one of today's most important business competencies. Any risk to the adequacy of an organization’s records and information – the accessibility of records, accuracy of data, credibility of information, and completeness of records and information – poses a threat to the effective completion of business transactions and fulfillment of organizational objectives or opportunities. RIM managers need to “step up to the plate” and become key risk management resource persons for their organizations, and Managing Risks for Records and Information was written to enable them to do so. This book has three main aims:
- to introduce records and information professionals to key ideas on risk management
- to introduce records and information professionals and other readers to records and information risks and encourage them to take a more holistic and coordinated approach to the management of such risks within their organizations
- to impart a methodology for assessing records and information-related risks
