Coopers & Lybrand, 2004.
As the day to day information requirements for the average business transaction continue to grow—along with the regulations about how much of that information you have to keep—many companies have found themselves overflowing with files, filing cabinets, and boxes of paper. Confused about their legal liability and applicable regulations in purging information, some offices are keeping everything, which can also leave a company legally vulnerable. At JHBRM we understand these concerns. Our consultants can assist you in creating and following a comprehensive records management and retention program that is easy to implement and makes the most sense for your industry and the way you do business.
A records retention system with JHBRM will allow you to free up valuable office space, meet all legal recordkeeping standards and reduce the overall cost of corporate archiving of inactive records. Corporate liability, HIPAA regulations, terrorist attack and natural disaster have recently become pertinent reasons to implement a professional records management program. Be sure you are protected by the best in the business – trust your company to JHBRM.
