There would appear to be a divided view of where Document Control should report to within an organization. Some say it's a finance function, others a safety, others a compliance to name but a few.
What is your experience and where should Document Control report to ideally?

Who Does Document Control Report To?
Oil and Gas upstream contractors and owner/operators include document control as a subset of information management reporting up through the project services group or project controls group. This group typically includes: planning and schedule, cost management, estimating, information management and sometimes benchmarking (historical data accumulation). Organization and dissemination of document control functions will span the EPCI gambit from engineering document control through final handover of operating procedures and as built documentation to the client/operations group.
Who does Document Control report to?
It should be to the QS/Contract Administrator who will take the place next to the Contract Holder. A consolidated report submitted to him would be forwarded to the finance & other depts. All other controls of accuracy and getting endorsed by the contract holder is the responsibility of a QS/Contract administrator.
Document Controller
