The correct answers are: Information about personnel from the payroll system; Value of sales from the accounting records; Information on decisions taken from the minutes of a meeting.

Data and information captured from internal sources come from transaction systems, such as the payroll system and the sales ledger, or is communicated formally or informally, as in a decision taken at a meeting.

Although the other two types of information mentioned are circulated within the organisation, they are both captured from outside. For example, the source of employment legislation is the government and the source of the market information is the market itself, which is clearly external to the organisation.
