This past week I finished up working on the records management inventory for a department in the Treasurer's office. Fun stuff. In my line of work, I have to collaborate with several department heads to understand their document and records process which includes an interview and physical inventory of all their records. It might sound super boring but I really love what I do. I find records management absolutely enthralling!
The bulk of my work is dedicated to research and reading up on various department policies, procedures, and Arizona State Statues. However, my project provides opportunities to meet everyone within the office and understand the many activities and responsibilities of the Treasurer's Office. In addition, I found my project expands my academic knowledge I have acquired in class. For instance, in my nonprofit and public sector finance classes, we learn about risk management and internal control to prevent fraud. One of the most important aspects of risk and financial management is a proper records management program to ensure documents and records are legally retain and maintained. So, while I'm reading about proper records management in class, I am also implementing what I learn at my internship. It's a win-win!
