About
The standard sets out principles for the making and keeping full and accurate records of the activities of a public office.
Section 12(1) of the State Records Act 1998 requires public offices to 'make and keep full and accurate records'. The purpose of this standard is to assist public offices to meet this obligation and to provide a benchmark against which a public office's compliance may be measured. The standard sets out five principles for the making and keeping full and accurate records. Each principle is explained and followed by minimum compliance requirements. Sources of further guidance and a list of compliance requirements are also provided.
This standard replaces Standard No. 1 Standard on full and accurate records (issued 10 February 1999). Standard No. 1 is available from https://www.opengov.nsw.gov.au/
This standard has been replaced by Standard No. 12 Standard on records management.
