IT financial controls are a motherhood issue. Everyone is for them. But being for them, and knowing how much time, money and organizational attention to devote to them, are two decidedly different things.

So how exactly should an organization attack the problem of setting the right level of investment for resourcing IT finance controls? At what point is the game no longer worth the candle?

Diane Carco and Chris Herman of Swingtide will explore this topic on Wednesday, April 1^st, at The World of IT Financial Management conference in Atlanta. Sponsored by ITFMA (the IT Financial Management Association), this conference attracts hundreds of IT finance leaders.

“We’ve seen the pendulum swing from a period of excessive controls, with hundreds of cost centers and unmanageably complex chargeback systems, to relaxation of controls, Sarbanes-Oxley causing a retightening,” said Swingtide managing director Diane Carco. “In our presentation we will show how to find a common-sense balance between the expense and benefit of planning, managing, controlling and allocating an IT budget.”
