Premiär och release av ISACAs och IIAs nya publikation "Stöd för styrelsens styrning av verksamhetens IT".

Publikationen ”Stöd för styrelsens styrning av verksamhetens IT” vänder sig till styrelseledamöter i alla sorters verksamheter inom privat eller publik sektor, med tonvikt på mindre och medelstora organisationer som saknar stöd av specialister för att analysera och bereda underlag för styrelsebeslut. För dig som medlem i ISACA och IIA är det verktyg för strategiska diskussioner på styrelsenivå och för att ledningsgrupper skall kunna omsätta det strategiska perspektivet till den taktiska och operativa nivån för att säkerställa att verksamheter får ut det värde som efterfrågas.
