How Do You Set Up A Filing System In A Corporation?
Corporations rely on a system of organizing information and critical documents to maintain order and increase the accessibility of records. For public corporations, these filings needs may be required for legal purposes and to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Securities and Exchange Commission requirements. Setting up a filing system in a corporation requires an overview of the types of documents that require storage, analyzing the departments and business roles that require access to files and developing a secure filing system that can be updated systematically and accessed quickly when needed. Conduct a review of the filing needs of the corporation. Analyze the types of information that must be stored, what documents require physical filing versus electronic storage, storage length requirements and security limitations. Assess the technical requirements for a filing system that includes a database storage mechanism, security protocol, redundancy and systematic backup procedures
