Too Much to Do and Don’t Care!

There are several reasons why errors appear in records.

Have you ever thought while filling out a form:

A “they really don’t need to know this” may be added for effect.

The older I get and the more paperwork I complete for various things, the more I think this explains a significant number of discrepancies and errors in records.
