IT Strategy Management Audit Work Program

Auditing the IT Infrastructure Management Strategy
Our IT Strategy Management Audit Work Program is an essential tool for evaluating the effectiveness of your organization's IT strategy and its alignment with business objectives. This robust audit work program assists in identifying potential risk indicators such as competitive gaps, IT budget overruns and high executive turnover. It outlines critical areas for assessment, including the appropriateness of IT infrastructure management, IT's role within the company, flexibility and responsiveness to change, stability and reliability, communication processes, results management, and human capital.
By systematically addressing these areas, organizations can determine whether IT services align with business needs, assess the stability and reliability of IT operations, evaluate the effectiveness of communication and documented processes, and ensure that IT investments are measured and validated. Overall, this work program provides a structured approach for ensuring that IT strategies are effectively supporting the organization's goals and maintaining a competitive edge.
According to this tool, risk indicators of potential problems include:
- A widening competitive gap between the organization and its competitor
- An increased backlog of business applications
- Dissatisfaction with the formal IT organization
- High turnover in executive leadership (e.g., CIOS, CTOS and others)
