ABSTRACT
In this article the links between records management and risk management are explored. It is exposed how records management has evolved in recent decades to focus on the processes of capture and maintenance of acts evidence and business transactions. It shows how the specialized literature explored this relationship and identified that documents are both information sources for risks identification, and objects of risks in themselves. It is concluded that Records Management Systems help organizations to manage the effect of uncertainty in relation to the failure in the creation and control of quality documents, due to the negative impact that this has on the organization's capacity to achieve its objectives. In that sense a Records Management System is considered to be a Risk Management system, where it is essential the determination of records management requirements for the identification and mitigation of organizational risks derived from information as acts and business transactions evidences.
