The goals of every organisation are unique. It is difficult to find a single information technology governance framework that will embrace the functions of every organisation. This is attributed to the primary reason why organisations tend to select multiple IT governance frameworks, for their processes and activities. However, many organisations later realised that some of the frameworks are very similar and others are inappropriate. This evidently and inevitably causes complexities and negatively impacts return on investment in organisations. This highlights the need for an architectural framework that guides the selection and implementation of an appropriate framework, as presented and discussed in this chapter. The qualitative case study and interpretive method and approach are followed in conducting this research, which is to develop an architectural framework for the implementation of IT governance in organisations. A South African organisation was used as a case, focusing on the IT division. The data collection method presented in this research was semi-structured interviews.

The goals of every organisation are unique. As a result, it is difficult to find a single Information Technology (IT) governance framework that will embrace functions of every organisation. This is attributed to the primary reason why organisations tend to select various (multiple) IT governance frameworks, for your processes and activities. However, many organisations later realised that some of the frameworks are very similar (duplications), and others are inappropriate. This evidently and inevitably cause complexities, and negatively impact return on investment in organisations. This highlights the need for an architectural framework which guides the selection and implementation of an appropriate framework, as presented and discussed in this paper. The qualitative, case study and interpretive method and approach were followed in conducting this research, which was to develop an architectural framework for the implementation of IT governance in the organisations. A South African organisation was used as a case, focusing on the IT division. The data collection method presented in this research was semi-structured interviews. Through a framework, the paper presents and discusses the fundamental factors, which influences the selection and implementation of IT governance in organisations. The factors include organisational needs, managing, assessment and innovation. These factors are influenced and do interacts with other tenets, which include adherence, competitiveness and sustainability, training and education, governance and compliance.

This paper aims to explore the role of applying information technology governance using the COBIT 5 framework in improving the security of accounting information systems. The paper also aims to assess the level of governance of information technology in the Trade Bank of Iraq TBI through COBIT 5 processes, including 4 dimensions of planning and organization, acquisition and implementation, support and delivery, and monitoring. The study uses a qualitative approach through a case study conducted at the Iraqi Bank of Commerce. The results show that applying the COBIT 5 governance mechanisms of information technology reduces data processing risks and improves automated accounting information systems' security. The results also show that the Trade Bank of Iraq can implement the COBIT 5 Framework. Also, the accounting system used in the Bank has all the features of information technology governance that, on the one hand, ensure confidentiality of customer information and, on the other hand, prevent the system from penetrating. The results of the current study provide a better understanding of stakeholders on the nature of IT governance in the light of the COBIT 5 framework and its role in enhancing accounting information security.

This study characterizes and analyzes information technology governance in a Brazilian institution of higher education. The methodological aspects included the quantitative approach, with application multivariate analysis, clusters and descriptive statistics from a sample of 62 individuals, and qualitative by means semi-structured interviews of ten professionals responsible for institution IT sectors. Analysis are presented a scenario in which IT governance can be characterized as a non-adopted practice and without planning for adoption. Aspects such as, lack of personnel, training, and planning of projects were observed as critical factors to IT governance implantation success.

Capability Level

Information technology governance (IT Governance) in companies has an important role in maximizing information technology that has been implemented at the University. However, IT governance can have several problems due to IT being only a concern of the technical team because it does not get the attention of top management. Without good IT governance various problems will arise. The EDM domain (Evaluate, Direct, Monitor) is one of the COBIT 5 tools, which is to measure the level of capability of the governance process. This study aims to analyze and assess the IT governance process using COBIT 5 tools on the EDM domain (evaluate, direct, monitor) with the Self Assessment method with a case study of the Peradaban University. The results of the assessment using the capability level COBIT 5 approach indicate that PUKSI of Peradaban University has a capability level at Level 1 for the EDM01 process because process performance is not planned and not monitored, nor are the resources and information needed to carry out processes not identified, provided, allocated, and used. So that IT governance is not maximally used.

Decision Making Processes

Information technology governance is considered one of the innovative practices that can provide support for decision-makers. Interestingly, it has become increasingly a de facto for organizations in seeking to optimise their performance. In principle, information technology governance has emerged to support organizations in the integration of information technology (IT) infrastructures and the delivery of high-quality services. On the other hand, decision-making processes in public sector organisations can be multi-faceted and complex, and decision makers play an important role in implementing technology in the public sector. The aim of this paper is to shed some light on current opportunities and challenges that IT governance is experiencing in the context of public sector services. In this respect, this paper examines the factors influencing the decision-making process to fully appreciate IT governance. Furthermore, this study focuses on combining institutional and individual perspectives to explain how individuals can take decisions in response to institutional influences.

Governance Risk

The relationship between Information Technology (IT) Governance, Risk Management and Compliance (GRC) and organisation business values continues to interest academics and practitioners (IT Governance Institute, 2003). Like governance, risk management and compliance generally, IT GRC is about the decision rights and accountabilities that encourage desirable behaviour in the use of IT (IT Governance Institute, 2003). A case study approach was used in an organisation with many business units. The organisation selected is a mining company, RioZim, situated in Zimbabwe. Data was collected from business units on IT issues and business values. The interviews centred on the IT GRC practices based on responsibility and authority for IT decision making. The results suggest that IT GRC does not adequately support business values. The study revealed that business values should drive IT GRC and IT GRC should be the responsibility of executives and all business units.
