RATIONALE
Records and information in any organization supports and provides evidence of translations. The World Bank and the IRMT all agree that records and information document the decisions and activities of the government and other organisations. It serves as a benchmark by which future activities and decisions are measured and that without records there can be no rule of law and no accountability. In addition, without good records and information management systems, organizations may take decisions on a havoc basis without the benefit of institutional memory.
