Abstract
Records management promotes good corporate governance, as it ensures that an institution such
as a university is effectively and efficiently governed and accountable to its stakeholders, which
include students, staff, board members, and the community it serves. Walter Sisulu University
(WSU) has been plagued by poor governance, which has resulted in the institution being placed
under administration. Proper records management might have assisted the institution in
efficiently managing its information, fulfilling its mandate, protecting itself from litigation,
preserving corporate memory, and fostering accountability and good governance. Transparency
and accountability can only be achieved if there is a policy that guides the management of
records.
