In the wake of Enron and WorldCom the role of internal auditors in corporate governance has taken on a whole new meaning. The passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and actions by the U. S. Securities and Exchange Commission imposed new requirements on auditors, corporate boards and management. This section of AuditNet® provides tools and resources for internal auditors to acquaint themselves with the new rules and share guidance and best practices for partnering with audit committees. Internal auditors now have a unique opportunity to work together with audit committees to help in the corporate governance mandate.

Identity theft increased more than 50 percent between 2003 and 2006, according to a Gartner Group study (1) released in March, with approximately 15 million Americans victimized in a twelve month period ending in mid-2006.

Sadly, some managers look at this effort in terms of just simply "passing" an audit. It's my view that successful implementation of IT compliance is really all about changing the behaviors of the members of your team and achieving improved quality and productivity. So how does one go about doing that in the real world of today's challenging corporate environment. This blog will take a walk through each of the Cobit controls and discuss, in practical terms, how improved processes can be successfully implemented and supported. Obviously, this is not always easy and and I hope that you will read on and then drop me a line with your input on what works and what doesn't!

Many organizations invest considerable resources in implementing IT Governance and compliance frameworks in order to comply with regulatory requirements such as section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The ISACA Cobit 4.1 framework is one of the leading tools used to manage and improve IT controls. Many managers find it difficult to ascertain and understand exactly what needs to be done in order to achieve compliance. This article explains the process for analyzing and implementing the description of an IT control. Every organization must follow the advice and counsel of their own professional legal, audit and compliance experts. However, managers also need to be able to understand exactly what the controls mean and require in order to go beyond simply meeting the letter of the law (and actually realizing improved productivity and quality). Read on if you would like to turn your compliance effort into your own process improvement initiative!

The IT Governance Institute (ITGI) was established in 1998 in recognition of
the increasing criticality of information technology to enterprise success. In
many organizations, success depends on the ability of IT to enable achievement
of business goals. In such an environment, governance over IT is as critical a
board and management discipline as corporate governance or enterprise
governance. Effective IT governance helps ensure that IT supports business
goals, maximizes business investment in IT, and appropriately manages IT-related
risks and opportunities.
ITGI is a research think tank that exists to be the leading reference
on IT governance for the global business community. ITGI aims to benefit
enterprises by assisting enterprise leaders in their responsibility to make
IT successful in supporting the enterprise's mission and goals. By conducting
original research on IT governance and related topics, ITGI helps enterprise
leaders understand and have the tools to ensure effective governance over IT
within their enterprise.
