2.1 Analyse business
activities and recordkeeping requirements |
 |
|
A comprehensive method for determining whether appropriate
records are being created and captured in your organisation begins with
analysing the business activities your organisation performs and identifying
the recordkeeping requirements that relate to these activities. These
requirements usually come from business processes, legislation or accountability
needs. Once these requirements have been identified, you are in a better
position to assess whether existing systems satisfactorily result in the
necessary records.
Analysis of business activity and identification of
recordkeeping requirements are fundamental steps in the methodology
for designing and implementing recordkeeping systems. This methodology
is described in State Records' Strategies
for Documenting Government Business: The DIRKS Manual.
