Question

An IS auditor is reviewing the newly formed IT steering committee at a mid-sized manufacturing firm. The committee currently consists only of the CIO, the IT infrastructure manager, and two senior IT architects. Business unit leaders are not represented, and meeting minutes show decisions focused almost entirely on technology selection rather than investment prioritization. What is the auditor's PRIMARY concern with this committee's composition?

Accepted Answer

The committee lacks business representation needed to ensure IT investments are aligned with and prioritized according to business objectives

Answer

The committee has too few members to reach a valid quorum for technical decisions

Answer

The infrastructure manager should chair the committee instead of the CIO

Answer

The committee should include external technology vendors to validate technology selections
