How to use this checklist
Your document generation process is the backbone of your organisation’s efficiency and compliance. Inefficiencies can cost valuable time, introduce errors, and even hinder growth.

2 points: Yes, this is fully in place.
1 point: Partially, but improvements are needed.
0 points: Not in place at all.
Add up your points at the end to see how your organisation’s document generation processes measure up. Use your score to identify priority areas for improvement: low scores highlight where immediate attention is needed, while higher scores indicate strengths to build on.
