Archives and societal provenance explores this distinctiveness using the theoretical concept of societal provenance as propounded by Canadian archival scholars led by Dr Tom Nesmith. The book's seventeen essays blend new writing and re-workings and combinations of earlier work and comprise the first text to present a societal provenance perspective to a national setting. The book is divided into four sections. The first part looks at the historical context of archives in Australia; the second part covers the institutions involved in the Australian archival story; the third part discusses the formation of archives; and the fourth part considers the debates surrounding archives in Australia. The book concludes with a consideration of the notion of an archival afterlife." --backcover. 

NAA lists the business risks associated with managing records, see bottom of webpage titled Manageing recordkeeping risks.

In light of the lecture on Accountability the following quote in the Guideline is important... "Public offices are accountable Outsourcing a business activity does not diminish a public office's responsibility to ensure that it is carried out properly and that all requirements for records are met".
