[Podcast] Strategic Considerations for Information Governance Audits

There are a few different scenarios for auditing your data. Audits can be performed to assess data quality, identify data liabilities, ensure data privacy, uncover data leaks, and so on.

Information governance audits, in particular, are used to ensure compliance with relevant information governance policies and procedures.

On this episode of the AIIM on Air podcast, your host Kevin Craine explores Information Governance Audits with AIIM member Andrew du Fresne. In Andrew's master's thesis, "The Effectiveness of IG audits on Organizations," he posed three questions:

1. Do audits make information governance programs more effective?
2. Do they make compliance objectives more effective?
3. If the answers to questions 1 and 2 were "yes," why don't Information Governance Practitioners use them more often?

Tune in to hear about Andrew's findings.

Also, on this episode, Kevin Craine interviews IBM's Director of Business Automation, Eileen Lowry. Eileen and Kevin explore the convergence of content, automation, and process improvement and what IBM has been doing recently to enable and leverage that convergence for their customers.
