Report 6

Records Management in the Public Sector

Agency Responses

Bunbury Port Authority

The Bunbury Port Authority (BPA) agrees with the first six (6) key findings.

The BPA have now restricted administrator rights to key staff with operational needs only.

The BPA review of the Risk Management Plan in the records system indicated the document was included in the record system as a draft in December 2012, and as a final in April 2013.

The BPA are currently moving documentation from subsidiary drives to the record system, a process which will take three to six months to complete.

 

Department of Health

The Department of Health, on behalf of the state public health sector, accepts the findings and supports the recommendations made by the Auditor General.

 

Gold Corporation

Gold Corporation has found the audit of its Records Management by the Office of the Auditor General useful.

The significant finding that the (otherwise adequate) refinery records were not recorded on the Corporate TRIM records system resulted from the refinery being taken over on 1 April 2010 and the amount of work required to integrate its business in the rest of Gold Corporation. At the time of the audit, recording on TRIM was yet to be done. It will be completed by 31 March 2014.

There are four other moderate and minor findings and these will also be resolved, at the latest, by 31 March 2014.

The steps necessary to ensure an ongoing high level of compliance of Government’s requirements for Records Management are being put in place.
