Records management
Proper maintenance of records is an important part of a well-functioning organisation. It is particularly important that Ombudsman offices have good record management practices because it is a key area where Ombudsmen often identify poor practice in agencies in their jurisdiction. In addition, Ombudsman offices often deal with sensitive and, sometimes, highly confidential or secret information.

Risk management
Standard ISO 31000:2009 Risk Management – Principles and guidelines defines risk as the ‘effect of uncertainty on objectives’. It is important that Ombudsman offices have policies and procedures in place to identify, assess, manage/mitigate and monitor a range of risks, and that these are reviewed and evaluated at appropriate intervals.

New functions and a growing office
Communities are demanding a greater level of transparency and accountability from government as well as those delivering services that were once the responsibility of the public sector. In looking for additional accountability mechanisms, governments often first look to existing mechanisms, such as Ombudsmen, that are trusted, effective and where the additional oversight functions are comparatively inexpensive to implement.

Measuring and monitoring performance
As with any other public or private sector organisation, it is important that offices monitor, measure and report on their performance. This will provide the Ombudsman and senior staff with confidence in the work of the office. It will also allow the office to demonstrate to the community that it is making appropriate and efficient use of the funding and resources with which it is provided. In some jurisdictions, this information can also be of assistance to the Parliamentary Committees tasked with overseeing the work of the Ombudsman. Offices can use this information to support applications for additional funding and resources, particularly if there is a clear increase in a particular area of the office’s work. And finally, this information will be useful to demonstrate the office’s importance to the community.
