Records

Records refer to documents or pieces of information that are created, maintained, and stored for purposes of reference, compliance, or historical documentation. They can be in various formats, such as paper documents, digital files, audio or video recordings, and are often organized for easy retrieval. Records serve to capture events, transactions, decisions, and other significant activities within an organization, government, or personal context. They are used for evidence, accountability, and analysis, and are often subject to laws and regulations regarding their management, retention, and privacy. In business, records management involves systematic control of records throughout their lifecycle, from creation to disposal.
