Every commission or inquiry has a 'document management
protocol'. These are the rules that govern how materials should
be submitted. It assists the commission or inquiry navigate the
complexities of numerous submissions from different organisations
and individuals that it receives.
There are also strict instructions regarding document
production, specifically providing electronic documents with an
electronic index including all metadata in a highly specified
format.
How we Assisted a Client
For the recent Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking,
Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (Banking Royal
Commission), we assisted a client with response submissions and
supporting documents required in a short, six-week period over the
Christmas and New Year shut-down period. Failure to comply would
result in custodial and financial sanctions.
