[All COBIT-2019 Questions]

Who is responsible for the oversight of structures and mechanisms that drive enterprise governance of information and technology (EGIT)?

AThe board

BIndividual business units

CExternal regulators

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

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.

Individual business units? Really? They can barely keep their own stuff together, let alone the whole enterprise.
