Certified: The ISACA CGEIT Audio Course

This episode explains how to align IT investment management with enterprise investment governance so IT is not treated as a special case that escapes the discipline applied to other capital and strategic investments. You’ll learn how enterprise governance expectations—such as standardized business case requirements, risk-based approval thresholds, portfolio reporting, and benefits accountability—should apply to IT-enabled initiatives in a consistent way. We’ll cover how alignment improves decision-making by enabling comparable investment tradeoffs across functions, clarifying funding rules, and ensuring oversight forums have the evidence needed to rebalance portfolios when priorities shift. Real-world scenarios include IT projects approved outside enterprise capital processes, inconsistent financial treatment of cloud spend, and benefits reporting that cannot be compared across business programs. For CGEIT scenario questions, the best answers typically emphasize harmonizing governance cadence, criteria, and reporting so IT investments are managed with the same rigor, transparency, and accountability as enterprise-wide investment decisions.
