1. Title:
An evaluation of implementing COBIT 5 Framework as a tool for IT Supremacy: A case
revision of the Road Fund Administration (RFA) with respect to its current Information
Technology (IT) Governance Framework, standards, and processes.
2. Introduction
2.1 Background
The RFA is a public sector company and was recognized on 1st April 2000 by an Act of the
Namibia Parliament, with the specific mandate to achieve the Namibian Road User Charging
System (RUCS) and the Road Fund with the view to safe and assign adequate backing for the
road sector. To attain fineness and maintain development, RFA have robust Senior Organization
with a loch of highly capable and accomplished employees. The RFA has a stable IT
environment with many technological successes in terms of management and innovation. Rapid
development in knowledge has caused in the essential for initiatives to increase efficiency and
mix all obtainable evidence. RFA has encountered these encounters by efficiently exploiting
dissimilar methods and capitals.
Senior Management of RFA is convinced that it would be effective to have a solitary combined
Information Technology (IT) supremacy outline and get away with the many different
framework and standards adopted throughout the years. Therefore, RFA’s Senior Management
requires a comprehensive research study that shall evaluate the criticality and efficiency of
applying COBIT 5 Outline as a mechanism for IT Governance at RFA in contrast to the current
IT Governance Framework, standards and processes and current status quo.
2.2 Aim

The study will investigate the impact of implementing COBIT5 Framework at the RFA as a
mechanism for IT Governance with respect to the current existing IT Governance Framework,
standards, and processes.
In order to attain the intended outcome of the reading, the following objectives will need to be
met:
1. To critically review the need of executing COBIT 5 as an IT Supremacy
Framework at the RFA against the current implemented IT Governance and
standards.
2. To evaluate the helpfulness of applying COBIT 5 Background as a
mechanism for IT governance at the RFA in comparison to the current
status quo.
3. To assess the value that may arise through implementing COBIT 5 Framework as a
appliance for IT control at the RFA in contrast to the current arrangements.
4. To gather insight into how the COBIT 5 Framework and the current IT framework at
the RFA, will differ in bring the appropriate IT governance solution the company.
5. To critically review the need of implementing COBIT 5 as an IT Authority
Framework at the RFA against the current implemented IT Governance and
standards.
6. To evaluate the usefulness of smearing COBIT 5 Framework as a
mechanism for IT governance at the RFA in comparison to the current
status quo.
7. To assess the value that may arise through implementing COBIT 5 Framework as a
mechanism for IT supremacy at the RFA in contrast to the current arrangements.
8. To gather insight into how the COBIT 5 Framework and the current IT framework at
the RFA, will differ in bring the appropriate IT governance solution the company.
RFA employed a few governance framework and strategies throughout the years in order to
manage, maintain and protect the Enterprise IT environment. The goal of the research is to
