Event Costs
Building an IT strategic plan is essential to ensuring success of the IT function. The COBIT® standard
can be a useful tool in identifying the strategic areas of IT that a company may be overlooking. COBIT®
provides a framework that includes a set of control objectives and recommended detailed control activities
to lead an organization through the management of IT, and to evaluate how an organization measures up
against these control objectives. Moreover, COBIT® provides a Maturity Model to report on that assessment
by comparing it with best practices, international standards, and the goals of the organization.
All ISACA Winnipeg members and other Professionals with an interest in COBIT®, Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Canada's Bill 198
