Recording and Storing Information

Record information accurately - check the quality of records. Review your methods for recording and storing information - re-evaluate your methods, systems and procedures on a regular basis to check that they are as effective and efficient as possible.

 

Record information in appropriate detail - you will need to keep a different level of detail on information, depending on how significant it is and how you anticipate to use it. Introduce new methods of recording and storing information as needed - regularly review whether the supply of information continues to meet requirements.

 

Record and store information using accepted formats, systems and procedures - your organisation may have developed formal procedures and systems for storing different types of information, both paper-based and on computer. Analyse and correct any breakdowns in the methods of recording and storing information - when systems do breakdown, analyse the cause, and take action

 

Make sure you can retrieve information promptly when required - consider how urgently the information may be needed.
