The Influence of Information Technologies on Corporate Governance in Companies

The aim of this paper is to examine the influence and contribution of information technologies on corporate governance in companies in Serbia. Corporate governance in IT management is a subgroup of corporate governance disciplines that focus on IT systems, their performance, as well as risk management. On the one hand, the increased interest in information and technology governance is related to the compliance initiatives, such as Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States and Basel II in Europe. On the other hand, even more importantly, the interest stems from the demand for a higher degree of accountability in decision-making processes – the processes that are related to the usage of information technology in the best interest of all stakeholders.
