How does the current UN reform affect ARMS?
ARMS will play a pivotal role in the reform efforts, especially in improving transparency and accountability through strengthened administrative practices in the management of UN programmes and assets. Underpinning the reform objectives is the requirement to create and manage electronic and paper business records to meet transparency and accountability requirements, in other words, to ensure that the business of the United Nations is properly documented and that the resulting records are managed efficiently and effectively and remain accessible for as long as they are needed. ARMS develops Secretariat-wide policy and provides support and practical guidance for good and accountable recordkeeping through a range of advisory services and resources. This website will help staff become familiar with rules and responsibilities for recordkeeping and to learn how ARMS can assist in improving recordkeeping practices.
