Records Management
Maintaining complete and accurate
records is essential to the work of
Schering-Plough, and care must be
taken to ensure that records are
managed properly.
This means:
- Maintaining records as required by
law and applicable Company retention
schedules.
- Preserving all records related to
actual or anticipated litigation
government investigations or audits.
- Keeping only what is required by
Company record retention policies
and procedures.
- Being alert to the need for accuracy -
especially when documents are
produced for an official purpose.
Providing false or misleading records
is wrong under any circumstances -
doing so when records are produced
or maintained for official purposes
is a serious violation of law.
