Frequently Asked Questions
What is a recordkeeping audit?
A recordkeeping audit is a structured review of how an organisation creates, captures, manages, retains and disposes of records. It assesses whether current practices and systems support business, accountability and compliance requirements.
What is a recordkeeping compliance assessment?
A compliance assessment compares an organisation's recordkeeping practices with applicable standards, legislation, regulations and government requirements. It identifies areas of compliance, gaps and opportunities for improvement.
Why should an organisation conduct a recordkeeping audit?
An audit helps identify information risks before they lead to lost records, compliance failures, inefficient processes or difficulty responding to audits and information requests. It also establishes a baseline for ongoing improvement.
Which standards can the assessment use?
FYB can assess recordkeeping practices against AS ISO 15489 and relevant local, state, federal or sector-specific standards and requirements. The assessment criteria are agreed upon as part of the project scope.
What will we receive after the assessment?
FYB provides documented findings, identified risks, a gap analysis and practical recommendations. An action plan can outline remedial activities and their relative priority, effort, timing and implementation considerations.
Can FYB help implement the recommendations?
Yes. FYB can assist with subsequent improvements such as strategy, policies and procedures, classification schemes, retention schedules, system configuration, training and other remedial activities.
