Document background
Meeting Minutes With Action Items are fundamental governance and operational documents used in New Zealand organizations to record meeting proceedings and ensure accountability for follow-up tasks. These documents must comply with New Zealand legislation, particularly the Companies Act 1993 for corporate entities, and the Public Records Act 2005 for public sector organizations. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides an official record of discussions and decisions, assigns clear responsibility for actions arising from the meeting, sets deadlines for completion, and creates a traceable audit trail of organizational decision-making. This format is particularly valuable for board meetings, committee meetings, project team meetings, and other formal organizational gatherings where decisions need to be documented and actions tracked systematically.
