In Govern, Datetime values are stored as UTC. The display of the value of a Datetime field is dependent on your computer's locale - as configured in 'Settings' -> 'Date & Time' -> 'Time zone'.

For example, changing the timezone from UK time (UTC + 00:00) to New Zealand time (UTC + 12:00)

will have the effect of changing the displayed datetimes from:

to:

Note that in the displayed New Zealand datetime value both the date and time components have been changed to reflect the corresponding local values of the UTC datetime value.
