Step C - Identification of recordkeeping requirements

Collect information from documentary sources and through interviews; identify the requirements for evidence of and information about each business function, activity and transaction which should be satisfied through records. The requirements can be derived from an analysis of the organisation's regulatory environment and the risk of not creating and maintaining the records. Determine how each requirement may be satisfied through records management processes, and articulate and document the requirements for records. Choose the appropriate records structure which best satisfies each business function, activity or transaction. [AS ISO 15489.1, Clause 8.4]
