The enterprise roles and organizational structures component is important to update in a COBIT RACI chart to align with the enterprise’s context, priorities and preferred terminology. A RACI chart is a tool that assigns different levels of responsibility, accountability, consultation, and information to roles and organizational structures for each governance and management objective. A RACI chart consists of four components: enterprise roles and organizational structures, governance and management objectives, enterprise process practices and activities, and RACI assignments.  The enterprise roles and organizational structures component should be updated to reflect the specific roles and structures that exist in the enterprise, as well as their names and descriptions. 1 3   References:   COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology ,  COBIT 2019 Framework: Roles, Responsibilities & RACI Charts

 A principle of a proper governance framework is that it should be based on a conceptual model.  A conceptual model is “a representation of a system that uses concepts and ideas to form said representation”  8 . A conceptual model helps to define the scope, purpose, structure, and content of a governance framework. It also helps to communicate the key concepts and relationships of a governance system to stakeholders.  COBIT is based on a conceptual model that consists of three main components: the governance system, the governance components, and the design factors 9 .  References:   8 : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conceptual_model  9 : COBIT 2019 Framework: Introduction and Methodology, page 26
