Section 2 - Assessing existing record creation and capture

2.3 Examine surveys and other records of performance

Public offices in NSW are periodically required to complete an annual records management survey that is distributed by State Records. Specific questions within this survey relate directly to record creation and capture. Your organisation's responses to these questions should indicate whether the creation and capture of records have been identified as problematic for your organisation.

If your organisation undertakes benchmarking or other assessments of recordkeeping practice (note that this is a requirement under the Standard on Records Management Programs – Principle 9, Measured), these too can be used to help identify whether strategies are needed to improve records creation and capture.
