Abstract
Enterprises are increasingly making tangible and intangible investments in improving enterprise governance of IT. In support of this, enterprises are drawing upon the practical relevance of generally accepted good-practice frameworks such as COBIT. COBIT (Control Objectives for Information and Related Technologies), now in its fifth edition, is an internationally recognized industry framework that describes a set of good practices for the board, executive management, and operational business and IT managers. It sets out a set of controls over information technology, and organizes them around a logical framework of IT-related processes and enablers.
