Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 462

Which of the following is MOST useful for determining whether the goals of IT are aligned with the organization's goals?

Answer options

• A. Enterprise architecture (EA)
• B. Key performance indicators (KPIs)
• C. Balanced scorecard
• D. Enterprise dashboard

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Balanced scorecard is a strategic planning and management tool that helps organizations align business activities to the vision and strategy of the organization, making it the most useful for determining alignment with IT goals. While Enterprise architecture, KPIs, and Enterprise dashboard provide valuable insights, they do not directly measure the alignment of IT and organizational goals as effectively as the Balanced scorecard does.
