    Correct Answer
    A. A record that is used on a regular basis

    How long should you keep your records?

    • 7 years

    • Forever

    • Until I no longer need them

    • When my filing cabinet is full

    • It depends on what type of record it is and whether I created it

    Correct Answer
    A. It depends on what type of record it is and whether I created it
    Explanation
    The length of time you should keep your records depends on the type of record and whether you created it. Certain records, such as tax documents, should be kept for a specific number of years as required by law. Other records, such as personal financial statements, may need to be kept indefinitely for reference or legal reasons. Ultimately, the decision on how long to keep records should be based on their importance and relevance to your personal or professional life.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    The County has sole responsibility for deciding which records can be kept or disposed.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The explanation for the correct answer being False is that the County does not have sole responsibility for deciding which records can be kept or disposed. In most cases, there are laws and regulations that dictate how long certain records must be kept before they can be disposed of. Additionally, there may be other entities or agencies involved in the decision-making process, such as state or federal authorities. Therefore, the County does not have complete autonomy in this matter.

    Who is responsible for managing County records?

    • The Records Management Team

    • All County staff

    • My Department’s Director

    • The Department of Technology Services

    Correct Answer
    A. All County staff
    Explanation
    All County staff is responsible for managing County records. This means that every employee within the County has a role in ensuring that records are properly managed and maintained. This responsibility extends to all departments and levels within the organization. By involving all staff members, the County can ensure that records are accurately created, stored, and disposed of in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. This approach promotes accountability and transparency in record-keeping practices throughout the organization.
