IIA Governance of Enterprise IT

The governance of enterprise IT plays a critical role in the effectiveness of IT operations. Without strong governance, IT management may not have the necessary direction to achieve their stated objective. It is important for organizations to take a strategic approach to implementing IT governance. Effective IT governance contributes to the efficiency and effectiveness of controls and allows organizations to realize the value and benefits that IT investments can provide. Internal auditors need a basic understanding of information technology governance. Without this knowledge, internal auditors may not fully comprehend IT objectives and the associated risks and may lack the ability to assess or audit the design or effectiveness of controls related to those risks. This course from the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA)delivers an introduction to IT governance concepts and emphasizes the significant role that IT operations perform to enable organizational success.
