Electronic Transaction Laws

For many years organizations Rwanda have desired to move to electronic systems but up today are holding back as they perceive that digital documents would not be acceptable in courts. The irony is that to date most transactions are entirely or partly conducted electronically for example E-Banking, E-Ticketing, E-Commerce; in business world traders no longer have to travel to purchase or conduct businesses all transactions are accomplished on-line.

New legislation on electronic transactions which is being drafted once in place will facilitate an increasing move towards electronic commerce as well as electronic governance for example the e-parliament.

Choices

The commercial and legislative demand for companies to manage their business records efficiently leaves decision makers with the following choices.
Not to comply with legislation. This is a highly risky option and could have major financial and reputation repercussions.
Minimum compliance. This creates an unnecessary overhead which leads to increased costs.
Embrace and seek the opportunity by moving from ad hoc and unpredictable processes to outsource, effective control of all documents and records as will be required by law.
