The Public Records Act 2005 aims to ensure good recordkeeping practices in New Zealand public offices through several key requirements. These include creating and maintaining full records, and properly disposing of records. While some myths exist, like that everything must be kept or nothing can be destroyed, the Act provides for authorized disposal of records. Recordkeeping audits will begin in 2010-2011 to assess compliance with the Act across nearly 2700 public offices. Archives New Zealand provides various resources and services to help organizations improve their recordkeeping.
