IT Governance and Regulatory Compliance Summary
IT management and staff are sinking under the weight of compliance requirements for Sarbanes-Oxley and numerous other privacy regulations, including CB 1386, GLBA and HIPAA. The common thread in all of these regulations is IT and as a result, streamlining IT compliance efforts has become a top priority for most organizations today.
In this environment, it has become clear that enterprise governance and IT governance can no longer be considered separate disciplines. Rather, they must be integrated into one approach that will foster successful regulatory compliance and ensure that vital resources are aligned with the enterprise’s business goals and identified risks. To be sure, how well IT governance is executed will have an immense impact on whether the enterprise will achieve its mission and objectives and satisfy the many compliance requirements.
In this two-day seminar you will review the key elements of a sound IT governance framework and how it directly impacts corporate governance and enterprise risk management. You will explore the specific roles and responsibilities that IT audit, the board of directors, the CIO, and the audit committee have in the process. Throughout the seminar you will address IT compliance with key regulations along with the critical aspects of IT governance that need to be in place for compliance to occur. You will leave this seminar with specific guidelines and information on how IT auditors should approach an audit of IT governance, including planning, audit execution and dealing with the high-level corporate politics.
