Week 03 – All World Airways – COBIT 5

The All World Airways case study focuses on the real-world situation of a chief information officer (CIO) facing outsourcing and the risks associated with this process. It will help us get a better understanding of COBIT 5 and how we can apply this framework.

Elements of outsourcing, vendor management, and international regulations are present throughout this case. At least half of our class will be dedicated to contextualizing the case. This will give us a complete picture of the situation before we jump into the activities the case presents.

Readings:

The first part of this publication from ISACA summarizes the COBIT 5 framework. The second part – starting on page 27 – is a blueprint for the audit and assurance function. The combined use of this document and “COBIT 5 Enabling Processes” will prove useful in answering the questions for the case.
