Record: Recorded information created or received in the course of administrative transactions, regardless of form or media, that documents an organisation’s activities. It must remain unaltered once declared to ensure its authenticity over time. Records serve as evidence of business activity and form the organisation’s collective memory. They contain unique information or data and are often the final statement about the transaction they represent.
Records Management: The process of managing records from creation to disposal, ensuring records are present, accessible, interpretable, trustworthy, maintained, and properly disposed of. It provides a framework to care for records throughout their life cycle, governed by principles such as respect des fonds, life cycle concept, continuum concept, and levels of arrangement and description.
Public Record: A record created or received and maintained in any public sector organisation.
Private Record: A record created, received, and maintained by non-governmental organisations, families, or individuals relating to their private and public affairs.
