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.

#ISACANEWS Curious to get to know more about our President Mounir Messaoud on a more personal note, then check out ISACA news on Instagram and get updates from community members all around the globe. 

Syftet med detta stöd är att ge en allmän orientering och stöd till generella IT-relaterade områden. Dokumentet är framtaget av IIA Sweden och ISACA Sweden och är därmed skrivet utifrån internrevisorns och IT-revisorns perspektiv. I dokumentet används därför begreppet ”revisor” i denna betydelse.

Dokumentet kan dock med fördel även användas av andra yrkeskategorier som har till uppgift att granska, bedöma eller utvärdera riskhantering, ledning samt den interna styrning och kontrollen inom området.

Dokumentet är helt gratis och även öppet för nedladdning från vår LinkedIn kanal.

The presentation from the seminar on 10 October on Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) can now be downloaded.

Please log in and click on the tab För medlemmar/dokument.
