Balanced Score Card and COBIAT M Satish Kumar Institution

management tool which is a semi-standard structured report, that is supported by design methods
and also automation tools that can be able to be used by the various managers in various
organizations so as to be able to keep track of the execution of activities by the staff within their
control and also to be able to monitor the consequences arising from these actions (Haes &

activities (Ahuja, 2009). This therefore implies that the managers are not the only people who use
the strategy but also other individuals who would want to keep close track of their performance.
It has various characteristics, some of them include the following:
· It majorly focuses on the strategic agenda of the specific organization that is concerned (Haes &
Grembergen, 2008).

· A mix of financial and non-financial data items.
1 COBIT CONTROL OBJECTIVES FOR INFORMATION AND RELATED
TECHNOLOGIES IS A GOOD PRACTICE FRAMEWORK THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO
BE CREATED BY INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION ISACA FOR
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT AND IT GOVERNANCE (HAES &
GREMBERGEN, 2008). THE MAIN THING THAT THE COBIT DOES IS THAT IT
PROVIDES AN IMPLEMENTABLE SET OF CONTROLS OVER INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY AND ORGANIZES THEM AROUND A LOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF IT
RELATED PROCESSES AND ENABLERS.
There has always been a comparison that has been done concerning the Balanced Scorecard and the
COBIT. They always tend to vary in various ways that makes them most of the time not to be the
same though in some occasions they tend to have a similar character. 2 SOME OF THE WAYS
INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING:
· COBIT tends to get directly get involved with IT than the Balanced Scorecard. In the Balanced
Scorecard, it tends to get more to the various managers as it gives them the various ideas that they
can be able to use for them to be able to keep tracks of the various activities that are being carried
out by the staff (Ahuja, 2009). On the other hand, the COBIT get to be involved with the IT as it
makes the various technologies that are being used in the various organizations are able to be used
effectively as the organization expects to (Haes & Grembergen, 2008).

· They also tend to have a common objective to which they are able to make the various
organizations to be satisfied after they have been able to implement them effectively. These two
always makes various organizations to always reach the various goals that they have been able to set
as the Balanced Scorecard will be able to make the managers to best know how their employees
work while the COBIT assist the organization with the IT to complete the various activities that are
carried out (Haes & Grembergen, 2008).
· COBIT involves a large number of people as compared to Balanced Scorecard. The COBIT always
tends to largely involve the various customers at large as it makes the various customers to know
more about the IT that has been used in the organization, this makes them to be able to have a close
relationship with the various customers thus making the organization to be able to earn more profit
(Ahuja, 2009). On the other hand, the Balanced Scorecard tends to directly involve the managers
and the various staff that work within an organization.
