Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the passage.
There are many driving forces for the introduction of good records management procedures within organizations. Some of the reasons are driven by negative factors such as liability, disaster recovery and protection against breach of intellectual property rights. Others are positive, such as more effective operations of administrative procedures, continuity and more efficient user of resources such as people and space.
We can start with legal obligations. Government departments and many non-departmental public bodies are required to keep records to a particular standard under the Public Records Acts. All limited companies are required to keep basic business records under the Companies Acts and particular industries such as the oil industry, pharmaceutical companies and financial advisers are covered by specific regulations which govern record keeping.
Companies that sell services or manufacture products for sale to the general public are increasingly aware of the dangers of litigation that can arise if a product is implicated in injury or death of a customer. In many cases the defence against litigation is centered around records that can demonstrate that the company was not negligent and that it was working to the best practice of the time when the problems occurred. This protection against litigation is becoming increasingly important in the public sector as government departments and agencies are becoming more accountable to the general public.
Some industries are based on intellectual property whether this be music, written work, videos, trademarks or patents. Protection against theft of intellectual property depends almost entire on keeping the relevant records and protecting them against damage. Ownership of property depends on written title deeds. Contracts are another valuable asset that needs to be managed and kept in suitable conditions.
A key role for records managers in many organizations is protection of vital records. This helps to ensure effective recovery from disasters. This is especially important in information intensive activities such as finance, research and development, sales and marketing. Precautions such as keeping off-site copies of documents and adequate protection against fire, flood and theft fall within the remit of records management.
For many organizations the only tangible evidence of their past existence is the business records and archives. This history or a company can play an important part in its ongoing sense of identity and records can play a significant role in this process. The benefits of this sense of continuity may not be as easy to qualify but they are nonetheless important. Minutes of board meetings and of departmental groups and committees can provide a useful commentary on the company and indication of its future direction. These factors can be particularly relevant during a period of change, such as that following a merger, take-over or change of ownership.
Finally, records management is a key effective use of resources within an organization.

1. Efficient use of resources
