Business Classification Scheme Design & Review

Driving recordkeeping compliance through business classification scheme design, implementation and review.

Classifying records using a BCS increases the ease in which records are accessed, therefore a thorough, compliant business classification scheme design is essential. We recommend that organisations review their business classification schemes;

• At least every two years
• When there is a change in business activity
• After a machinery of government (MOG) change
• When a BCS has been changed

Our team of business consultants assists organisations with business classification scheme design, implementation and review. We identify organisational requirements and compliance standards, review existing business classification schemes and business processes to identify gaps or underutilisation, provide recommendations for improvement of business practices, grouping of records, and RDS and BCS alignment, and administer the BCS update or import to the recordkeeping system.

Our team of experts are well versed in current metadata standards and industry best practices, and can assist organisations with implementing and/or reviewing metadata practices and associated business processes. Our in-depth industry experience and methodical approach has significantly helped many organisations improve their business practices and records management procedures, thereby improving compliance and reducing organisational risk.
