Answer

Yes. The member may be interested to know that record keeping standards for the New Zealand public sector are issued by the Chief Archivist under the Public Records Act 2005 (administered by Archives New Zealand). The Public Service Commission sets expectations for integrity and conduct in the Public Service but does not issue formal record keeping standards.
