The diversity and the advanced level of the used technologies in IT projects with increasing complexity leads to an exponential diversification of risk factors.The purpose of this research is to identify the level of the risk approach in IT projects both at the IT project management and software development methodologies level and the level of the perception of IT project managers, IT managers and IT analysts in Romanian IT companies. Thus, we want to determine the correlation between the use of a project management or software development methodology and the overall level of risk perceived by the project managers using these methodologies.

Risk manifestation occurs throughout the cycle of design, development and maintenance of the IT project. Most times these risks may negatively affect the financial stability of the projects, the schedule and quality of the implementation of the project requirements. Theory and practice of IT project management classifies risks into several criteria such as: users, project requirements, project complexity, project planning and control, team, and organizational environment in which the project takes place. To ensure effective risk management of IT projects, project managers need to formalize the identification and monitoring of the risk factors. Thus, we considered appropriate to develop a tool to provide support for IT managers in project risk management. Through this support tool, IT managers can make decisions in real time regarding the occurrence and m...

In this context, the risk and control of AIS approach is a central component of processes for IT audit, financial audit and IT Governance. Recent studies in the literature on the concepts of risk, control and auditing of AIS outline two approaches: (1) a professional approach in which we can fit ISA, COBIT, IT Risk, COSO and SOX, and (2) a research oriented approach in which we emphasize research on continuous auditing and fraud using information technology. Starting from the limits of existing approaches, our study is aimed to developing and testing an Integrated Approach Model of Risk, Control and Auditing of AIS on three cycles of business processes: purchases cycle, sales cycle and cash cycle in order to improve the efficiency of IT Governance, as well as ensuring integrity, reality, accuracy and availability of financial statements.

This article examines the state and progress of e-government in Romania. The study is based on the e-government benchmark by the European Commission from May 2014 included in the Digital Agenda for Europe, and the e-government Factsheets 11.0 from April 2014 by the European Commission. We emphasized the most important milestones in e-government development in Romania and we presented the main twenty e-government services in Romania. We analyzed the most recent indicators for e-government and their evolution like user-centricity, transparent government, key enablers, e-government users and effective government indicators. We also presented a the e-government and interoperability national strategy from the Digital Agenda for Romania, E-Government 2.0.
