Setting the Scene
Reported on Wednesday 10 April 2013:
“New UK financial regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), is to probe an IT failure at Royal Bank of Scotland that also affected customers at NatWest and Ulster Bank in June and July 2012”.
The glitch in the CA7 batch process scheduler ended with 12 million customer accounts being frozen, leaving them unable to access funds for at least a week while RBS, NatWest and the Ulster Bank manually updated all the account balances.
Poor IT Governance can cause..
In a letter to Andrew Tyrie MP, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee, RBS CEO Stephen Hester attributed blame to "maintenance on systems, which are managed and operated by our team in Edinburgh, which caused an error in our batch scheduler."
• Agility – Rapid reaction to new challenges and opportunities (e.g. Mergers and Acquisitions with an IT impact are occurring)

ITIL v3 - COBIT 5 Mapping
Combination of ITIL and COBIT
• COBIT and ITIL provide an integrated, top-to-bottom approach to IT governance and service management from a “business perspective”.
• When used together, the power of both approaches is amplified, with a greater likelihood of management support and direction, and a more cost-effective use of implementation resources.
