Judge Mervyn King, Chairman of the King Committee

Please find attached your brochure and registration form for the above mentioned event.

Overview
It has become increasingly noticeable that many boards, executive committees and even individual managers are asking, begging or pondering some burning questions regarding their IT (Information Technology) such as:
● What value is IT actually bringing to the Business?
● Is IT adequately supporting the Business?
● How Robust/Secure is the IT Infrastructure, Applications etc?
● What Risks are there in IT?
● Is IT effective in supporting the Business to achieve competitive advantage?
● Is IT abiding by relevant regulatory frameworks?
● How can IT add value to the growth of the Business? Etc.

Perhaps all these questions are inferring and overall question of:
● “How is IT governed in our organization?”

This must surely pose a challenge to those entrusted with the responsibility of IT in the Business – How do they respond to this challenge?
It has been advocated for quite some time now that the above challenge is addressed through proper disciplines, viz. IT Governance, IT Risk Management and IT Compliance. Lately, these three disciplines, through commonality and interrelationships, have been grouped together and referred to as IT Governance, Risk and Compliance (IT GRC)”.
It is pleasing to see that some organizations are embarking or planning to implement IT Governance whilst many companies increasingly are striving to understand this discipline and how it may be implemented in their organizations to better address the business imperatives, increased regulatory pressure and customer demands etc.
This workshop is constructed mainly around the Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology (COBIT) framework and is supported by other relevant sources and standards to provide a holistic view of the structured IT Governance, IT Risk and Compliance processors.

● Beneficial to all Senior IT persons but specifically including IT Managers, IS Managers,

  Service Delivery Managers

● Appreciate the importance that the Business Value Creation must be supported by IT.
● Know how to go about ensuring that IT is planned and organized including its activities
