Corporate governance of information technology Problems with IT governance

1 While different companies have different reasons, the failure is often

a reflection of the belief that IT governance standards are too

expensive to implement, that they don’t reflect reality, or that it is

unnecessary if they have already reached compliance with Sarbanes-

Oxley (SOX) and other standards

organisations to focus value creation efforts on an organisation's strategic objectives and to better manage the performance of those responsible for

creating this value in the best interest of all stakeholders

IT Governance

1 Various definitions of IT governance exist. Whilst in the business world the focus has been on managing

performance and creating value, in the academic world the focus has been on specifying the decision

rights and an accountability framework to encourage desirable

behavior in the use of IT.

IT Governance - Frameworks

1 * COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and related Technology) is regarded as the world's leading IT governance and control framework.

COBIT provides a reference model of 37 IT processes typically found in an organization.

Each process is defined together with process inputs and outputs, key process activities,

process objectives, performance measures and an elementary maturity model. Originally

created by ISACA, COBIT is now the responsibility of the ITGI (IT Governance

Institute).
