Staffordshire County Council are planning compliance audits across the Authority to assess compliance against key FOI s.46, local government data handling guidelines etc & to measure progress against our Information Strategy. We have carried out an initial desktop study using TNA s46 self-assessment for our own purposes.
We are now in the process of developing our own best practice audit methodology to obtain information about the organisation’s current recordkeeping practices & enable us to assess against key record & information management requirements. Our rationale in doing this is to develop a comprehensive assessment that takes into account the time & resources available both in our team & within services.
We are developing a methodology to effectively target audits in a large but rapidly changing organisation that is moving from being a service provider to a service commissioning organisation. The new structure will include remaining core services, contracted services, service provision by partner & voluntary organisations, joint partnership working & services that are becoming arms length ‘private’ companies.
As part of our planning we are keen to hear from other local authorities or other types of large organisation that have undertaken, or are in the process of undertaking, records & information compliance audits who are willing to share experiences in carrying out audits or reviews within their organisation particularly in the area of commissioning and partnership working.
