Clare, Not a counter argument just an observation. In my humble opinion 'knowing your organization' is a very important factor in being an effective records manager (and a business archivist at least). I'm willing to be corrected by those that know more than me though.

Presumably this is seen as a cheaper option than employing a professional. No doubt it’s the same in archives.
