  • Thematic Compilation of Relevant Information Submitted by Pakistan
    THEMATIC COMPILATION OF RELEVANT INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY PAKISTAN ARTICLE 10 UNCAC PUBLIC REPORTING PAKISTAN (SEVENTH MEETING) The use of information and communication technologies for the implementation ofthe UNCAC Information and communications technologies (ICT) have been hailed as the answer to practical problems of increasing transparency and public accountability in public administration. ICT can make it easier for citizens to scrutinize government activity and to voice concerns and opinions about its performance. The use of ICT in public administration also presents two types of corruption prevention challenges. The first is that fraudulent activity in public administration, as elsewhere, can be made easier and more damaging by using ICT. Secondly corruption risks can arise from the increasing dependence of public sector agencies on ICT to run their operations. Both the purchase and maintenance of ICT systems requires technical expertise that may be lost as public administration prioritizes core functions over administrative support. Buying in this expertise without due diligence exposes public authorities to the challenges of a contractor workforce mentioned earlier but with the potential for greater damage than in many other administrative support functions. The core challenge is in maintaining costly expertise. ICT plays a role in preventing corruption not only in accountability and transparency but also by supporting the quality of an organization's operational efficiency and robust internal governance. Inside public sector agencies, electronic records management systems can improve the quality, reliability -and even the existence -of public records and administrative performance generally. Electronic data can also facilitate more efficient auditing and ex post investigation of processes and analysis of corruption risks that can be used as strategic intelligence to improve systems.
