Governance and ComplianceGovernance of Enterprise IT for Board and Executive Oversight
As African organisations digitise core operations, boards are increasingly asked to approve technology investment and answer for cyber incidents without a governance vocabulary to match. This course translates IT governance frameworks such as COBIT into board level oversight practice, covering technology risk appetite, IT investment decisions and digital accountability. It is built for directors and executives who must govern technology, not operate it.
Course objectives
- Distinguish IT management from IT governance and define the board's oversight role
- Apply a recognised enterprise IT governance framework to set technology risk appetite
- Evaluate major technology investment and outsourcing decisions using governance criteria
- Establish IT governance committee structures and reporting lines
- Design board level indicators for cyber resilience and digital performance
Who should attend
- Non executive directors and audit committee members
- Chief information and chief digital officers
- IT steering committee members
- Chief risk officers
- Senior finance executives overseeing technology spend
