CISA QUESTION #1768
Question 1
Which of the following statements about an IT steering committee is accurate?
  • Steering committee membership consists of directors from each department
  • The committee agenda focuses primarily on IT-specific issues
  • Absence of a formal charter signals a lack of governance controls✔️
  • The steering committee conducts formal management oversight reviews
Correct Answer Explanation
A steering committee must be authorized through a formal charter. Without one, there is no assurance that IT investments are governed by formal alignment to business objectives. Membership should be formally designated, and the committee's role is to convey business objectives to IT — not to focus solely on IT issues.
