Abstract
Issues, such as fraud and corruption, emanating from lack of transparency and accountability in public administration are receiving considerable attention. Public funds management is an area of concern as public funds are prone to misuse if proper control mechanisms are not in place. A number of suggestions are found in the literature on how to prevent or reduce public funds misuse including curbing corrupt behaviour. However, most of the literature focuses on institutions strengthening their systems and very few explore the role of ICT in preventing and reducing corrupt behaviour. This paper addresses this gap by exploring ways in which ICT could be using to address lack of transparency and accountability in public funds management in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
