From the Paper:

"The COBIT framework provides for internal audit and corrective action by aligning IT governance to business objectives. According to the process, the management has to start implementing the framework by identifying the information requirements of the organization. Once the information has been identified, the next stage of planning and organizations starts. In this stage, the management defines what the IT strategy is to be and then determines the architecture of platforms to be followed in implementing that strategy."
