Throughout the course, participants will delve into the necessity of having a robust IT control framework in place, essential for ensuring effective governance and management of enterprise IT. They will explore how COBIT®5, as a globally accepted business framework, addresses this need by aligning IT goals with broader business objectives, thus enhancing overall organizational performance.
