File Plan

A file plan is a structured system that helps organize and manage an organization’s records and files efficiently. It categorizes documents based on their function, importance, and retention needs, making it easier to find and preserve information over time. Think of it as a well-organized filing cabinet, with clear labels and sections, ensuring that documents are stored logically and can be retrieved quickly when needed. A good file plan supports compliance, saves time, and helps protect important information from loss or misplacement.
