Managing information technology risk

Article Abstract:

The Canadian Conference on Auditing and Computer Technology Workshop Series for 1996 dwelt on the role that auditors should play for the effective management of information technology. The conference observed that success will be achieved only by those organizations that understand the changes that the 'control landscape' is undergoing and know how these changes should be addressed. However, an informal survey conducted among the conference attendees found that 64% of the respondents showed a lack of leadership in using and managing new technologies.
