Records & Information Management: Finance Matters

In this episode of "Finance Matters," hosts Brandi Van Ormer and Patty Marbury chat with Caroline Walters, head of UVA’s Records & Information Management Department, about how good records management saves time, money, and resources. Caroline explains how well-organized records make information easy to find and accessible to the right people, while formal retention policies simplify audits and reduce legal risks. She also shares how effective records management preserves the University’s historical records, helps eliminate unnecessary duplicates, and frees up space. Don’t underestimate the power of a well-managed system!
