Question

Assume that the governance committee states that all projects costing more than $70,000 must be reviewed and approved by the chief information officer and the IT senior leadership team (SLT). At this point, the CIO has the responsibility to ensure that management processes observe the governance rules. For example, the project team might present the proposed project in an SLT meeting for a vote of approval. What does this scenario illustrate about organizational structure?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is the difference between governance and management oversight.

Explanation:

In conflict and post-conflict situations it is necessary that the security sector is governed by the principles of effective governance and accountability, to prevent this sector from misusing its prerogatives, that the authorities abuse its control over the actors in the security sector and, above all, to build public confidence and establish or restore the legitimacy of the sector (UNODC, 2011). For this to happen, it is necessary that the security sector actors accept that their decisions and actions can be questioned and that any inappropriate behavior can have consequences such as compensation for victims or sanctions. Without this type of accountability and transparency, corruption and other inappropriate behavior can flourish (UNODC, 2011).
