Document recording

Telephone Calls • A lot of information passed this way • Do you log all calls? • Test the accuracy of the data? • Record of any advice given?

Outgoing Documents • Wordlink • No audit trail • How can you be certain? • Can you prove it?

Conclusion • Information management is important – but there are some gaps. • Documentary evidence should be kept. • There should be a record of phone calls. • There should be an audit trail
