Forwarded from colleagues in Australia and recently posted to the RMAA
listserv. Apologies for cross-posting.
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.
http://www.synerconlwf.co
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
