Abstract: | Internet has given rise to cybersecurity (henceforth as: c-s.) issues. This paper demonstrates the relevance to the study of management accounting controls to problems arising in the c-s. setting. Efficient management control systems will reduce a firm's likelihood of suffering significant losses from breaches of c-s. It is found that firms can use an information security audit with adjustments to the compensation payments to the agent and the investment decision rules, to reduce intrinsic domain building preferences of a Chief Information Security Officer. |
