COBIT® 4.1
COBIT 4.1 is an update to the globally accepted framework that ensures that IT is aligned with business goals, its resources are used responsibly, and its risks are managed appropriately.

COBIT 4.1 includes guidance for boards of directors and all levels of management. The updates in COBIT 4.1 include enhanced performance measurement, improved control objectives and better alignment of business and IT goals.

COBIT 4.1 does not invalidate work done with COBIT 4.0 or COBIT 3rd Edition, but provides the opportunity to build on that work and further improve IT governance and control arrangements, where appropriate.
