Dear Archives New Zealand Te Rua Mahara o te Kâwanatanga,

 

I am requesting information under the Official Information Act 1982 about
compliance with the Public Records Act (PRA) and related statutory
obligations across government agencies. This request seeks to understand
the trends, scope, and actions associated with PRA non-compliance over the
past decade.

 

Specifically, I request the following information:

 

1. Annual Data on PRA Non-Compliance: A year-by-year breakdown of
identified instances of PRA non-compliance over the last 10 years.

 

2. Categories of Non-Compliance: A detailed breakdown of non-compliance
types (e.g. missing records, inaccessible records, or failures to document
decision-making processes).

 

3. Agency-Specific Data: A list of the agencies where non-compliance was
reported, including details of corrective or enforcement actions taken.

 

4. Oversight and Audits: Copies of internal reviews, audits, or oversight
reports addressing trends in PRA non-compliance.

 

5. Recommendations and Implementation Status: Details of recommendations
provided to agencies to address non-compliance issues and their current
implementation status.

 

This information will contribute to promoting transparency,
accountability, and improved public record-keeping practices, as well as
assessing the implications of non-compliance on public trust.

 

If any part of this request falls under the jurisdiction of another agency
or department, I request that it be transferred under Section 14 of the
Official Information Act.

 

I am happy to clarify or refine any part of this request to ensure
efficient processing. I look forward to your response within the statutory
timeframes.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Lance D. Lavery
