The Board notes that the main challenge for UNOPS in generating an adequate general ledger is data integrity.

However, given the challenges and trends described above, the emerging issues in strengthening and safeguarding integrity, transparency and integrity in public administration differ among developed and developing countries.

Further, the regulations may address whether access to the record and contract documents should be recorded and any data protection issues that would arise, to ensure the integrity and security of data, and confidentiality of communications and information, as more fully set out in cross reference to commentary to article 9 above .

Cybercrime may target the data being processed by systems, or the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the systems themselves.

That experience raised many issues regarding policies for data submission and data access as well as confidentiality concerns.

Given that data integrity is a significant risk at UNOPS, the implementation of an audit trail as a control tool could assist in identifying data errors and irregularities in a timely manner.

(b) The means used to send and receive electronic communications should be sufficient to ensure that the integrity of data is preserved

The controls may also include only simultaneous action by at least two authorized persons (e.g. unlocking of data), logging each access to the system and step taken, and the prevention of virus checking steps from compromising the integrity of data.

Consolidation of audit, evaluation, control, monitoring, data integrity and other related functions into one Office has resulted in synergies for better and improved oversight coverage of the Organization.

The Expert Meeting will focus on the issues of FDI data compilation and analysis and its role in the formulation of FDI policies from a development perspective. It will explore issues relating to the nature of data and the problems arising from them, as well as data compilation methodologies and difficulties in their implementation.
