Abstract
The study aims to investigate the possible contribution of Information Technology Governance (ITG) towards mitigating the risks associated with Cloud Accounting Information Systems (Cloud AIS). This goal has been accomplished by determining the categories and characteristics of the most significant potential risks associated with Cloud AIS; explaining how Cloud AIS raises potential risks that the Egyptian business environment faces, and outlining a proposed approach for ITG to lower those risks by putting in place an efficient ITG framework in the Egyptian business environment.
Quantitative analysis was used based on Ninety-Five questionnaires to investigate how ITG can lower the risks associated with Cloud AIS. The questionnaires were sent to 215 respondents, including members of academic staff in Egyptian universities, accountants, Cloud implementation engineers, and IT risk managers. Ninety-five valid and usable questionnaires are analyzed.
The results indicated that risks facing the Egyptian business environment are increased by implementing Cloud AIS. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that implementing ITG lowers the possible risks associated with Cloud AIS in Egypt.
The paper is useful to both practitioners and academics in the fields of ITG and Cloud AIS. The research provides some initial insight into users of Cloud AIS perspectives on the value of ITG impact
