Why does this matter? Well, establishing these objectives will serve as the backbone of our entire process. Consider what outcomes are most important for your IT environment. What are the key areas you want to improve? This could include data integrity, security, or compliance. You'll need input from various stakeholders to get a complete view. Possible challenges include differing priorities among departments, which can be mitigated by having open discussions and aligning goals. Essential resources include stakeholder input and past audit findings.<\/div>\n <div class=\"textarea-field-content form-field-content\">\n  <div class=\"form-group\">\n   <label> List the ITGC objectives <\/label> <textarea placeholder=\"Something will be typed here...\" rows=\"3\" disabled class=\"form-control\"><\/textarea>\n  <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <div class=\"members-field-content form-field-content\">\n  <div class=\"form-group\">\n   <label> Select stakeholders involved <\/label> <select disabled class=\"form-control\"> <option value=\"A member or group will be selected here\">A member or group will be selected here<\/option> <\/select>\n  <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"document-itgc-requirements\">\n <h2>Document ITGC requirements<\/h2>\n <div class=\"text-content\">Once we know our objectives, the next step is to document the ITGC requirements.
