The responsibility for overseeing EGIT structures lies with the board, according to COBIT 2019. The board ensures that the enterprise's IT governance aligns with strategic objectives, monitors compliance, and oversees risk management. This aligns with the Evaluate, Direct, and Monitor (EDM) domain, which assigns the board the role of setting direction, making high-level decisions, and assessing IT governance effectiveness to align with overall enterprise strategy.

I definitely recall that the board is key in governance, but I wonder if they delegate some of that responsibility to business units.

This question is about as clear as mud. Maybe they should just ask 'Who's the boss?' instead.
