Accounting records management and performance of small scale businesses
Abstract:
Records management is important for organizational growth
and survival. It enhances decision making, accountability and
staff performance. Although organizations keep records, not
all these records are well documented and stored to facilitate
the above usage. The objective of this research is to establish
the relationship between good records management and
organization performance, identify factors enhancing the
relationship and recommend changes for improvement. Case
studies are being conducted at two universities, namely Egerton
University in Kenya and Makerere University in Uganda. The
information is being generated through focus interviews with
members in the different units and analysis of management
records including finance.
La gestion des documents est importante pour la croissance et
la survie de l’organisation. Il améliore la prise de décision, la
responsabilisation et la performance du personnel. Bien que
les organisations tiennent des registres, tous ces dossiers ne
sont pas cependant bien documentés et conservés afin de
faciliter l’utilisation précitée. L’objectif de cette recherche est
d’établir la relation entre la bonne gestion des documents et la
performance de l’organisation, d’identifier les facteurs de
l’amélioration de cette relation et de recommander des
modifications pour l’améliorer. Des études de cas sont menées
dans deux universités, à savoir l’Université Egerton au Kenya
et l’Université de Makerere en Ouganda. L’information est
générée au moyen d’entrevues avec les membres dans les
différentes unités et l’analyse de la gestion des documents,
notamment les finances.
