Business is increasing its dependence on information technology to lower its costs and improve financial and operating efficiencies. In addition, legislation and liability protection require that senior management take ownership of how information is generated, accessed, collected, stored, processed, transmitted, and protected. This requires each organization to implement strong IT governance practices to help ensure the effectiveness of computer controls within its key IT environments.

In response to recent guidance issued by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), management and auditors are adopting a top-down, risk-based approach to the assessment of the control environment. As this transformation occurs, management and internal and external auditors are refocusing their approach to managing risk and assuring senior management, the board of directors, and the audit committee of rationalizing costs in the process.
