Information Management Policy
In 2011, the Administrative Council of Banco de la República approved the principle, policies, and assignment of responsibilities for the proper management of information seeking to improve the use, organization, conservation, and access to corporate information.
Corporate information corresponds to that which is produced as part of the Bank's processes, activities, services, and operations. Its management must recognize the value this has for the institution since it serves as a support for the rights, obligations, responsibilities, decisions, rules, or policies adopted by the Bank for the work carried out by its employees or by third parties rendering services to the Bank and for the institutional memory.
The fact that "corporate information is a strategic asset of the Bank" is recognized as a fundamental principle. Information governance policies seek to ensure that it is properly assessed, classified, valued, conserved, preserved, protected, access, publication, disclosure, and delivery. Both the principle and the policies cover corporate information in physical and electronic media (structured, semi-structured and unstructured), throughout its life cycle.
The Administrative Council updated the policy on publication, disclosure, and delivery of information, among others, in 2015 to incorporate the aspects related to the implementation of the Law on Transparency and Access to Public Information (Law 1712/2014) and the information management tools regulated in said law.
