In the records-intensive environment of the accounting and risk management sector, having a comprehensive records management program in place is critical to the success of your organization.

The right records management program guarantees the security and accessibility of your paper and electronic documents, saving you space and labor costs in the process by organizing your information more efficiently.

And in today's world of stringent regulatory requirements, privacy legislation, Sarbanes/Oxley rules and increasing litigation, your RM program must also keep you compliant while reducing the risk and cost of litigation, without impacting your ability to deliver a high level of service to your internal and external customers.

TAB: Helping You Focus on RM

For any RM program to be effective, it has to be a daily priority across your entire enterprise. This has traditionally been one of the biggest RM challenges for the accounting and risk management sector. At TAB, we understand that part of the problem is time constraints and lack of expertise. We will work with your people to facilitate the adoption of RM policies and practices at each level of the organization and across business units. We can act as your eyes and ears on records management, a partner who is constantly thinking of RM on behalf of your firm, someone who can knowledgeably lead change where appropriate.

We've helped countless organizations raise awareness of records management, and you can read a case study detailing our approach here.

New Challenges for the Accounting Industry

In today's business environment, the importance of privacy legislation, increasing regulatory scrutiny, the frequency of litigation, as well as storage constraints and escalating costs are just a few of the factors that have made good records management practices a must. This changing environment has presented new records management challenges for financial institutions:
  • Development and application of retention strategies
  • Strengthening the security of vital client records through digitization
  • Distinguishing records that need to be kept in original paper format
  • Making e-records use more palatable
  • Classification of records that are stored off-site
To meet these challenges, TAB can help you:
  • Guide the design of a retention strategy that will simultaneously reduce storage costs and the risk of non-compliance by identifying appropriate records retention schedules
  • Coordinate the design of a digitization program that considers the requirement for parallel maintenance of paper versions of certain vital records
  • Restructure information capture so as to make usage of the information in the electronic format more user friendly
  • Upgrade your system for classifying records that are to be stored offsite, leading improved usage on the part of employees
