Why is it important to keep accurate records and documentation related to your contracts?

First, it can help you to keep track of important dates and deadlines, such as when payments are due or when certain obligations must be fulfilled. This can help you to avoid missing any important deadlines, which could lead to legal consequences or other problems.  

Second, having accurate records and documentation can help you to prove that you have complied with the terms of the contract in the event of a dispute. For example, if the other party to the contract alleges that you have not fulfilled your obligations, you can use your records and documentation to demonstrate that you have done so.
