With the economic crisis that began in 2008, a long-standing
trend toward increased regulation is becoming a flood. The clamor
for improved enterprise risk management and the complexity of
multinational compliance present executives with a dramatically new
array of challenges.
Governance should offer solutions, but it is clear that
yesterday's governance practices aren't up to the task. In both
design and implementation, they are too disconnected and incomplete
to fully address our complex compliance and risk management puzzle.
Executives get only fragmented views of their true business
performance, and inefficiencies drive up costs.
The consequences of inadequate governance were demonstrated in
the economic meltdown of 2008. As the world struggles to recover
from that crisis, business is now faced with a confusing array of
evolving regulations, the challenge of managing compliance across
multinational organizations and a new imperative for risk
management that is coordinated across the enterprise. It's clear
that yesterday's governance practices don't meet today's need for
centralized controls, integrated compliance and risk management and
greater transparency. The need for organizations to changeand
change nowis clear.
Under Control captures decades of business governance experience
from many of the leading authorities at CA, Inc. This book sets out
not only to explain the essential challenges of effective business
governance, but to help you build solutions for your organization
based on lessons learned at CA from its customers and in its own
corporate structure.
From governing the organization's policies as a whole instead of
in silos, to a department-by-department look at the role and impact
of governance, to governing your green initiatives, to the role of
the board of directors, to the importance of risk management, this
book lays out some of the strategies and processes that may help
your organization manage its risk and regulatory requirements.
It is clear that the governance standards in the past were
inadequate, and that risks have not been properly assessed or
understood. This book is a first step in solving this problem so
that your organization is prepared and able to respond and thrive
in today's rapidly evolving environment.
Under Control is the first book published in the new CAPress
imprint, a joint publishing program between Apress and CA Inc.
One of the defining factors of the first decade of the 21st
century has been the increase of regulation and governance. To
explain these trends, and the various best practices for ensuring
governance, enterprise IT management solutions provider CA Inc.
enlisted more than a dozen subject matter experts from its ranks to
contribute content. The resulting book explores the need for broad
governance, different areas where governance is important, and
various ways for organizations to manage and implement compliance,
including IT governance, project portfolio management, information
governance and sustainability management. The book, while largely
vendor-neutral, draws on CA's experience creating governance
solutions as well as managing its own governance issues. Aaron
