EVALUATION OF COBIT IMPLEMENTATION IN E-GOVERNMENT: SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW FOR IMPROVED GOVERNANCE

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of COBIT in the context of e-government through a systematic literature review. The primary objective is to assess the development of COBIT adoption in e-government over the period from 2014 to 2024 and to identify potential directions for future research. Utilizing the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA framework, this study analyzed 62 articles retrieved from academic platforms, including Google Scholar and ResearchGate. After a three-stage structured screening process, 20 articles went into detailed analysis. It emerges from the findings that COBIT plays an imperative role in IT governance and information systems auditing within e-government. Its implementation has demonstrated how to enhance risk management performance, ensure compliance with regulation, and increase transparency and accountability within the dispensation of public services. This study will add to the comprehensive understanding of COBIT's role in e-government and point out the critical areas that need further research. The findings will help practitioners and researchers with an effective reference for building up IT governance strategies that are in line with the development of e-government.
