The Defense-in-Depth (DiD) theory has been accepted by most information security specialists and has been adopted by the Department of Defense (DOD) as a general methodology for improving any organization's information security posture. It means therefore that every IT Audit framework developed should gear towards the Defense-In-Depth theory. It has been observed from documentary pertaining information Technology Audit that none of today’s information technology (IT) audit frameworks incorporate all aspects of the DiD theory. In this research work the researcher identified shortcomings of some accredited existing IT audit frameworks, in particular, relating to Micro finance institutions and develop IT audit framework that addresses the main aspect of Defense-in-Depth (DiD) theory. Therefore, the main purpose of this research work is to come out with a holistic Information Technology Audit framework that incorporates the general aspects of Defense-in-Depth (DiD) theory that can serve as a guide in Information Technology Audit for micro finance institutions in Ghana.

This means that the failure or success of Organization’s Information System depends much on the ability for the stakeholders to plan those Information Systems well; therefore improved IS planning is one of the critical issues facing IS executives today. Effective IS planning can help organizations use IT to reach business goals. It can also enable organizations to use IT to significantly impact their strategies. However, if you don’t carry out IS planning carefully; the results will include both lost opportunities and the waste of expensive IT resources. In order to perform IS planning effectively, organizations apply one of several IS planning methodologies. The main idea that the researcher seeks to address is to come out with a holistic methodology that can be used in Planning Organizational Information Systems.

Authors: Christopher A. Abilimi, Linda Amoako,Judith N Ayembillah,Dr. Thomas Yeboah, Abstract: The need to use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has gained universal grounds because it is a significant means for improving the quality and standard of education. This accession is due to the fact that the use of ICT in education has an optimistic advantage on teachers and students motivation to teach and learn respectively. This study investigates the availability of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in high schools education in Ghana at the Akuapem North Municipality. The methods used were questionnaire, and interview with both students and teachers.

Authors: Abilimi, Christopher A. ,Dr. ThomasYeboah Abstract: The necessity to apply Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in education has gain worldwide credit, for the fact that it has the prospective for improving the standard and quality of education radically, in the sense that, the use of ICT in education has a compelling impact on teachers and students motivation to teach and learn respectively, as well as other stake holders in the industry. However, the implementation of ICT in our education is faced by a lot of obstacles. This study investigates the challenges of Information and Communication Technology in educational development in High Schools in Ghana at the Akuapem North Municipality. The methods used were questionnaire, and interview of students, teachers and other necessary stakeholders in education. The study concludes that most (41.7%) of schools have few computers which make students competed for computers at the ICT laboratory. It was also showed that power fluctuation, lack of qualified ICT teachers and no ICT laboratory in the Akuapem North Municipality were some Wed, 22 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMT http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/448 2016-06-22T00:00:00Z
