Certified in the Governance of Enterprise IT (CGEIT) — Question 290

Answer options

• A. the use of international standards.
• B. language differences.
• C. globally recognized good practices.
• D. the impact of cultural changes.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because implementing globally recognized good practices ensures that governance is aligned with accepted standards across different regions. While language differences, international standards, and cultural impacts are important, they do not directly address the need for a consistent governance framework that can be understood and adopted across the newly acquired company's operations.
