Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) — Question 614

Which of the following governance functions is responsible for ensuring IT projects have sufficient resources and are prioritized appropriately?

Answer options

• A. Executive management
• B. IT steering committee
• C. IT management
• D. Board of directors

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The IT steering committee plays a crucial role in overseeing project prioritization and resource allocation, ensuring alignment with organizational goals. While executive management and the board of directors have strategic oversight, they do not handle the day-to-day prioritization of IT projects. IT management is involved in execution but lacks the governance authority needed for such decisions.
