IT Governance: Managing Information Technology for Business
Thorogood Publishing, March 2011, Pages: 200
Corporate fraud, the illegal use of resources, and sexual and racial harassment all have a growing presence in the digital domain. Directors can’t simply afford to turn a blind eye – the fines are potentially huge; and in extreme cases breaching the law can even lead to imprisonment. It’s vital to keep pace with the latest legislation, which will have serious implications for your company, your reporting and the design of your IT systems.
This specially commissioned briefing explains the latest legislation, including the 2006 Companies Act. It outlines the law’s impact on IT departments and on the company as a whole, leading you to an effective IT governance initiative for your own business.
Five key benefits of effective IT governance
- Information systems that provide a true, transparent picture of the business.
- Identifying and managing IT-related risk efficiently, thereby avoiding stringent penalties.
- Automated systems that contribute effectively to your business goals.
- Creating an accurate picture of what is stored on your servers.
- Increased understanding of your IT staff’s actions and responsibilities.
Who should read this report?
- Board-level directors responsible for organisational governance and good governance of automated systems.
- IT managers responsible for ensuring their organisation’s governance policies are effectively implemented.
- IT practitioners looking to assess the impact of an increased emphasis on corporate governance in their working life.
- Auditors keen to get to grips with IT governance issues.
