Record keeper is a skill associated with the Template:L appointed Template:L. It is used to determine how quickly the bookkeeper can take an Template:L of the fortress and update the records to reflect any changes. It is trained by a bookkeeper doing the update stockpile records administrative Template:L.

As wealth and items are created or lost, e.g. by dwarves drinking up all your booze, the records will gradually deteriorate in precision, eventually ending up at the lowest precision rating. An assigned bookkeeper will therefore periodically update the records. How often depends on what precision he is trying to maintain, with the highest precision requiring the most work.

It is recommended to have your bookkeeper working around the clock, maintaining the highest precision level, even in small fortresses with relatively small stocks. This will train the bookkeeper's record keeping skill, boosting it to legendary status fairly quickly.

The high speed at which the record keeping skills is trained is considered by some to be an exploit. (Despite there being no alternative).
