This unit describes the skills required to identify organisational reporting needs and collect, check and record information using available technology.

This unit applies to those working in a range of generalist and specialist roles within a range of occupational areas. For this reason this unit may be significantly customised, particularly in the assessment of knowledge, based on different organisational, sector and location requirements.

The skills and knowledge described in this unit must be applied within the legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. Organisational policies and procedures must be consulted and adhered to, particularly those related to reporting.

Those undertaking this unit consistently work independently and as part of a coordinated team while drawing upon support from a range of familiar resources. They would undertake complex tasks in a moderate range of familiar contexts.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
