Since 2004 Synercon Management Consulting has maintained an online register
of incidents, highlighting poor recordkeeping practices.

 

In August this year we re-launched Lest we Forget in a blog  format to
facilitate tagging, comments and to make maintenance and archiving easier.
The blog also provides RSS feeds as well as links to Twitter, Linked in etc.

In editing Lest We Forget we try to focus on those issues which have a
significant impact on the rights of individuals (including taxpayers) and
communities. Incidents are grouped into categories:

.         Breakdowns in Accountability

.         Exposed through audit

.         Inadequate Systems 

.         Non-compliance

.         Operational Failures 

.         Privacy Breaches 

.         Systemic Failure
