Governança corporativa TI: estudo de caso

Abstract

The scandals in 2002 involving Eron and WorldCom companies motivated the creation of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, or simply SOx, by the US Congress. The organizations had to review their Corporate Governance and conform to the new law. The role of Information Technology (IT) became fundamental in this matter since the SOx law imposes that all commercial records, including electronic records and electronic messages, must be saved for at least five years. The failure to comply with the rules leads to sanctions or arrestment of the involved executives. In this context, IT Corporate Governance becomes very important for organizations. This paper aims to describe the beginning of implementation of Corporate Governance IT in a specific program, which is to provide relevant information about the organization's global telecommunications projects to senior management. The work model used was COBIT 5. This laborious process, due to the size of the organization and the large number of people involved, has proved itself very simple and effective. The goals have been met and the senior management, executive body and project managers have considered the information very useful. The program implementation has subsidize the knowledge about the work, contributing on the decision-making and processes improvements.
