Document or reconstruct a business or records system
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to individuals who are required to demonstrate understanding of a broad knowledge base, incorporating theoretical concepts with substantial depth in some areas. The application is in relation to those who work closely with other members of an organisation and have individual responsibility for documenting or reconstructing systems, and to those who work in specialist recordkeeping environments, such as archives. The unit can be applied equally to all types of collections of records, although historically it has been understood to relate only to traditional archival work.
A business or records system may need to be reconstructed for a variety of reasons, including:
capturing into archival control systems for access and control purposes
changes to the system of control including computerisation or migration between systems
transfer of an organisation's ownership or control arising from amalgamation, takeover or bankruptcy
administrative change, closure of offices or changes in accommodation.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to document or reconstruct a business or records system and its context over time.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
