This study used Stanford Maturity Model as the framework tool to assess practices of data governance in IT Bureau of audit board. The maturity assessment is performed by assessing both IT Bureau staffs and top echelons. After validation and finalization assessment, the result showed that most maturity components had average maturity level of 2.63.
