The MOST likely effect of the lack of senior management commitment to IT strategic planning
is:
Select an answer:
A.
a lack of investment in technology.
B.
a lack of a methodology for systems development.
C.
technology not aligning with organization objectives.
D.
an absence of control over technology contracts. - answer✔✔A. Lack of management
commitment will almost certainly affect investment, but the primary loss will be the lack of
alignment of IT strategy with the strategy of the business.
B. Systems development methodology is a process-related function and not a key concern of
management.
CORRECT C. A steering committee should exist to ensure that the IT strategies support the
organization's goals. The absence of an information technology committee or a committee not
composed of senior managers would be an indication of a lack of top-level management
commitment. This condition would increase the risk that IT would not be aligned with
organization strategy.
D. Approval for contracts is a business process and would be controlled through financial
process controls. This is not applicable here.

D.
Liaising between the IT department and end users - answer✔✔A. Vendor change control is a
sourcing issue and should be monitored by IT management.
B. Ensuring a separation of duties within the information's processing environment is an IT
management responsibility.
CORRECT C. The IT steering committee typically serves as a general review board for major IT
projects and should not become involved in routine operations; therefore, one of its functions is
to approve and monitor major projects, such as the status of IT plans and budgets.
D. Liaising between the IT department and end users is a function of the individual parties and
not a committee responsibility.

D.
be briefed about new trends and products at each meeting by a vendor. - answer✔✔A. Only
senior management or high-level staff members should be on this committee because of its
strategic mission.
B. Ensuring that information security policies and procedures have been executed properly is not
a responsibility of this committee, but the responsibility of IT management and the security
administrator.
CORRECT C. It is important to keep detailed IT steering committee minutes to document the
decisions and activities of the IT steering committee, and the board of directors should be
informed about those decisions on a timely basis.
D. A vendor should be invited to meetings only when appropriate.
