Meeting Notes Accuracy Checklist

Before the meeting

Confirmed recording/transcription is necessary; ordinary minutes are not a sufficient, less-intrusive method for this purpose.
Confirmed the recording/notetaking tool is on my employer’s approved list.
Confirmed the actual recording, transcription and model data path for this configuration, including subprocessors, retention, deletion and export behavior.
Documented the applicable lawful basis or valid consent requirement for every relevant location and company policy; merely informing attendees is not automatically the same as obtaining valid consent.
Told attendees the approved purpose, access scope, and retention period.
Confirmed this meeting type and data classification are eligible. Sensitive HR, health, legal, board or customer material follows the organization’s applicable record and access rules, not a generic label.

For each item in the Decisions Made section:

Was this actually and explicitly agreed, not just suggested or implied?
Can I point to the supporting timestamp or source line, and does a responsible participant confirm it?

For each item in the Action Items section:

Is the named owner the person who actually agreed to do it?
If ownership was unclear in the recording, is it marked “to confirm” rather than stated as fact?

For the Open Questions section:

Did the summary drop any dissent, caveat, or objection I remember from the meeting?
Is anything marked “decided” that I remember as still open?

Any unclear or inaudible section is labeled as a gap, not filled with a guess.
The message asks attendees for corrections with a specific deadline.
Sensitive content is limited to people who need it, not the full attendee list by default.
The reviewed version is stored only in the authorized system of record with the required access, retention, correction and deletion controls.

Corrections received are folded into a final version before anyone acts on the notes.
