IT Governance Blog on IT governance, risk management, compliance and information security.

ISO/IEC 38500:2008 provides guiding principles for directors of organisations on the effective, efficient, and acceptable use of information technology (IT). These principles are designed to be used within an organisations.

Implementing an effective IT Governance framework, compatible with ISO38500, within an organisation has many benefits that can be directly attributed to bottom line savings.

Over the next few weeks, as budgets for 2010/2011 are agreed and finalised, it is likely that your budgetary requirements from the previous 12 months will be taken in to consideration. If you have remaining funds from the 2009/2010 financial year and plan to roll over any residual funds into the next financial year, think again. It is highly unlikely that you’ll be rewarded for good financial control, but rather penalised for holding excess cash and, as a result, will see a reduction in next year’s budget.
