Records are essential to the operation of local government. Good recordkeeping practices protect the rights and interests of citizens in their dealings with government; enable governments and public employees to account for their decisions and actions; help* improve the delivery of services to the community; and make the conduct of government business more efficient and effective. In addition, good recordkeeping practices reduce the exposure of government to the legal, financial or political risks associated with poor recordkeeping. Ultimately, records are a public trust, an essential informational resource for local government and its citizens, and an important part of the collective memory and cultural heritage.
