Additional reports on C OBI T are available to subscribers of the META Group Executive Directions research service. Performance audits in 1999-2000 have been guided by four broad themes which are considered to be important to the Parliament and the wider Australian community. The ANAO is using C OBI T as its framework for conducting three information technology audits. The ANAO is actively involved in the work of the two Professional Accounting Bodies in Australia, the Australian Society of Certified Practicing Accountants and the Institute of Chartered Accountants. In addition, as a member of the Board of Auditors of the United Nations, the COA needs to train its auditors to conduct audits of United Nations organisations.
All volumes are also available in a print version.
We will announce translations of the 3rd Edition, as they become available. The Philips International BV Internal Audit department has a long-standing tradition of using the C OBI T framework and encouraging CISA certification for its staff. In support of this initiative, the Philips IT Council has developed a Process Survey Tool, which facilitates the assessment of organizational capabilities and improvement of IT management processes. Using the C OBI T maturity models, Philips has developed a scoring process that reflect its own specific organizational and process needs. For IT, scoring results are also used to submit an annual Statement on Business Controls.
