The accounts department is one of the busiest departments in the workplace. They have a large quantity of paperwork that has to be processed and entered onto their accounts system. Once the documents have been entered onto the system they are usually allocated a reference number, this is how the document is identified and it can then be filed away.

To make sure that the documents are easy to locate if they are needed, you have to store them in a document storage system. There are many different storage systems available, it really depends on the quantity of documents that you have to store.

Storage racks can be used for the documents, and there are supports that can be purchased and placed onto the shelves of the storage racks to hold the files in place.

You may have confidential documents in the accounts department such as banking details, payroll or personnel files. These need to be stored securely; this is where storage cabinets can be used as they feature a lock to restrict access. These cabinets have shelves inside and they can be adjusted to suit the documents you have to store.

All document storage systems need to be clearly labelled so that all employees in the accounts department can locate the document they need promptly. If you run out of space in the office you could also create an archive area in another part of the building, for those documents you need to store by law.
