Abstract
Electronic government, or e-government, involves online internet or world wide web constituent interactions with government agencies. This paper discusses the term's development and investigates security and auditing aspects of sustained e-government growth. The original theory behind e-government involved standardised operations that reduced costs. Netologically disadvantaged agencies start with 'information-only' one-way websites. User demands and government mandates force 'transaction based' bi-directional interactions. Government organisations pass through four internet utilisation phases of increasing web-site sophistication and network security. In later phases, transaction authentication, privacy, and electronic signatures gain importance. Furthermore, government mandates require particular development whereby audits become necessary to ensure compliance.
