Information and communications technology alone does not offer a complete solution to information management problems. If computerisation is to provide the basis for informed decision making, greater transparency and effective service delivery, the information generated or held must be reliable and trustworthy over time. Well managed records, paper and electronic, document the policies, transactions and activities of governments and provide a trusted source of information to support accountability. They are the foundation for good governance and for meeting development goals.

The IRMT assists governments and organisations in moving safely from a paper to an electronic environment through building reliable, trustworthy records systems as the basis for data integrity to support:

Financial management
Human resource management
Land administration
Health care management
Justice and courts administration
Services for citizens
Anti-corruption strategies
Access to information
Protection of rights and entitlements
Management information systems
