Robert E.  Davis
“As for relegated/delegated responsibility to ensure organizational software licensing compliance, management is still accountable when intellectual property rights are violated. If the safeguarding responsibility is assigned to an ineffective and/or inefficient unit within an organization, IT audit should recommend an alternative arrangement after the risks are substantiated.”
Robert E. Davis

“Crumbling Infrastructure → Accelerate projects under the National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP) and promote private sector participation.”
Dipti Dhakul
