Management
Shred Early, Shred Often
Penelope Patsuris, 06.20.02, 4:15 PM ET
NEW YORK - Arthur Andersen might still be in business if it had simply stuck to a policy of shredding its nonessential records all along--and that's got corporate America's attention.
"From the day the Enron story broke, we started getting more calls from companies asking for help managing the retention and destruction of documents," says Joan Feldman, president of Seattle-based Computer Forensics, a records management firm. "Executives are changing things, like how long their companies keep their backup tapes. Others are just thinking about this for the first time."
It's not that these companies are out to destroy incriminating evidence. "Most companies will probably be careful to stipulate in their policies that all shredding stops if litigation is ever imminent," says Jonathan Hamilton, editor of Public Accounting Report.
