Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)--Who Is Running Organizations?
James Scott Magruder, Stanley X. Lewis, Eddy J. Burks, Carl Smolinski · 2015
This paper will discuss what BYOD is and why it is a current trend in business. This paper will also look at why BYOD may be a disaster for organizations that adhere to this trend. One argument for BYOD seems to be that employees do not want to use more than one device: one for their private lives and one for their business lives. Since employees prefer their device the firm has to be concerned that the internal control system is providing the necessary security required by COSO. The benefits and costs of this type of program must be weighed.
