Clear guidance on aligning IT with the businessAligning IT with the business is a key objective for boards and executives. Organizations with effective IT governance consistently generate better returns for their shareholders than equivalent organizations with ineffective IT governance, and the directors of companies that effectively govern their IT are significantly less exposed to compliance and shareholder challenges than others. It links IT governance to today's corporate governance environment and assesses the corporate impact that the convergence of financial, accounting and governance frameworks will have on organizations competing in today's economy.
