Strategic Information Systems Planning
In recent years, corporate accountability has increasingly been in the spotlight. In Canada, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) has mirrored the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act in mandating higher levels of financial reporting integrity for all public companies. To guide corporations in their adherence to these requirements the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) and the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) have developed detailed guidelines on corporate governance and alignment which relate to a broad range of internal controls – including those in information technology.
To help ensure information systems meet these compliance standards, Titan SG's professional services experts develop a Strategic Information Systems Plan. We will assess all the key components of an information systems environment from current infrastructure to enterprise architecture, ensuring they align with the organization's business strategy and support compliance efforts. Following this assessment, we will present recommendations for possible remedial actions to address any identified gaps that may impede the ability to achieve business goals and projected growth plans.
