Legislators, regulators, and shareholders increasingly demand good governance over all aspects of their business. While much is made of financial governance, most legislation and regulation implicitly recognizes the need for prudent governance of information technology (IT) functions. In this study we conduct an exploratory collective case study of IT governance (ITG) in two financial mutuals - one in Australia and one in Canada, using a contextual lens. In one case, the mutual governs its IT through Board participation in a subsidiary. In the second, governance is delegated to management and a Lead Director. Both of these mechanisms appear to minimize ITG risk, and are the result of their respective regulatory environments. This research begins to lend some clarity regarding IT governance choices by firms, and denotes important contextual differences between countries’ regulatory environments. This will allow researchers, managers, and directors to better understand and discriminate between ITG processes and structures.

Abstract. Development of IT Governance to Support Business Activities on University (Case Study: Merdeka Madiun University). Currently, the use of information technology (it) has become one of the supporting organization's success, but if your organization does not have good control of it, it will only burden or new problems in the organization. Therefore, we need good governance to overcome the gap between the description of the recommended system with the necessary description for the actual system implementation. And to measure the extent to which IT alignment with business activities and measure the extent to which maturity level an organization can be done by using the COBIT framework. Therefore we need a IT unit for Merdeka Madiun University, and always to check the degree of IT alignment with business activities to add value for more competitive organization.   Keywords: COBIT, Maturity Level, Governance Abstrak. Saat ini pemanfaatan teknologi informasi (TI) telah menjadi salah satu penunjang dalam keberhasilan sebuah organisasi, akan tetapi apabila organisasi tersebut tidak memiliki tata kelola TI yang baik maka TI hanya akan menjadi beban atau masalah baru pada organisasi. Oleh karena itu diperlukan sebuah tata kelola yang baik untuk mengatasi kesenjangan antara deskripsi dari sistem yang direkomendasikan dengan deskripsi yang diperlukan untuk implementasi sistem yang sebenarnya. Dan untuk mengukur sejauh mana keselarasan TI dengan kegiatan bisnis dan mengukur sejauh mana maturity level organisasi dapat dilakukan dengan menggunakan framework COBIT. Berkaitan dengan hal itu maka diperlukan sebuah unit TI di Universitas Merdeka Madiun, dan perlu untuk selalu ditinjau sejauh mana tingkat keselarasan antara TI dengan kegiatan bisnis organisasi untuk menambah nilai kompetitif. Kata Kunci: COBIT, Maturity Level,Tata Kelola

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.

Organizational Needs

The goals of every organization are unique. As a result, it is difficult to find a single information technology (IT) governance framework that will embrace the functions of every organization. This is attributed to the primary reason why organizations tend to select various (multiple) IT governance frameworks, for your processes and activities. However, many organizations later realized that some of the frameworks are very similar (duplications), and others are inappropriate. This evidently and inevitably causes complexities, and negatively impacts return on investment in organizations. 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 methods and approaches were followed in conducting this research, which was to develop an architectural framework for the implementation of IT governance in the organizations. A South African organization 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 chapter presents and discusses the fundamental factors that influence the selection and implementation of IT governance in organizations. The factors include organizational needs, managing, assessment, and innovation. These factors are influenced and interact 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.
