Step 9: Record Keeping
In this critical step of the workflow, the team is responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of all transactions, activities, and decisions made during the process. This includes logging any changes or updates to existing documents, files, or systems, as well as keeping track of communication with stakeholders, collaborators, and relevant parties. The primary goal of record-keeping is to ensure transparency, accountability, and compliance with established regulations and procedures. All recorded information must be accurate, complete, and easily accessible for future reference or auditing purposes. This step requires close attention to detail and adherence to organizational policies, to guarantee the integrity and reliability of the records maintained during this process.
