Oversight and Reporting in Document Governance
The Office of the Chief Records Officer's Records Management Oversight and Reporting Program has published its latest Semi-Annual Records Management Oversight Report for the period of July 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. This report, published twice a year, serves as an accountability tool to ensure federal agencies effectively manage records in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
The reports cover a wide range of topics related to government records management practices. These include evaluations of agency adherence to records management policies and schedules, summaries of audits or inspections conducted to verify records management practices, and identification of risks or issues in records preservation, including electronic records and digital continuity.
The reports also highlight best practices, areas needing heightened oversight, and improvements. They provide updates on initiatives such as training programs, technology adoption, and corrective actions aimed at enhancing records management across federal agencies. Statistics and metrics on records disposition, acquisition, and retention compliance are also included.
The Semi-Annual Records Management Oversight Reports are based on oversight activities completed during a specific period. These activities include inspections, records management program reviews, surveys, assessments, and the Annual Records Management Self-Assessment (RMSA). The reports also incorporate findings from the Federal Electronic Records and Email Management Reports, the Senior Agency Official for Records Management (SAORM) Report, and Records Management Inspection Reports.
The recurring themes, key observations, and recommendations are identified by the Records Management Oversight and Reporting Program. These reports are a valuable resource for Congress, agency leaders, and the public, providing a snapshot of records management performance and challenges within the federal government.
