subject file plan, it is crucial to understand its underlying principles. Describe
the key principles that a government department should follow when
developing and implementing a subject file plan. Include relevant examples
to support your explanation. • Use examples that demonstrate how these
principles apply to government departments in practice. (30 marks) Question
2: You have been hired as a consultant to review the records management
system of a large governmental organization, which handles both manual
and electronic records. The organization aims to implement a comprehensive
file plan that accommodates both types of records effectively. A well-
designed file plan should enable an organization to manage and file both
manual and electronic records efficiently. • Discuss the importance of this
statement in relation to best practices in archives and records management.
