What is GRC?
GRC, or Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance, is an integrated approach for businesses to effectively achieve Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Although distinct entities, each of GRC’s components work together to create a comprehensive method of ensuring sustainable business operations.
Governance refers to the high level monitoring of business policies, ensuring governance compliance with policies and engagement in corrective action when non-compliance is detected. Risk management refers to an organization’s ability to identify and prioritize risk, while setting a tolerance level to which certain risk is acceptable. Risk management utilizes a set of controls and tools available to corporations to ensure the avoidance of risk. Lastly, compliance is the process by which companies document procedures and controls, and monitor policy initiatives in relation to legislation and industry initiatives.
Together, GRC works to ensure that your organization’s operations are sustainable, and that business operations are conducted in an ethical, legal manner. As a result of the various compliance initiatives across specific industries, the exact meaning of GRC depends on your industry sector. Most of all, GRC is what you make it – the degree to which your company complies with initiatives is reflected in the stability and professionalism of your operations. What does GRC mean to your business?
Legislation dictates increased rigor and accountability for:
- Reporting financial results
- Managing, auditing and assessing the internal business processes that drive those results
- Governing the ethical conduct of company executives, directors and officers
Implementing the new legislation means applying well-thought-out internal controls that identify weaknesses – a good overall business practice for any organization. However, it also presents business and IT managers with a complex task that involves increased responsibility and liability, and many get bogged down with auditing and reporting procedures
Furthermore, such regulatory and compliance requirements will continue to become more complex, which makes it important to leverage the methods used to manage Sarbanes Oxley Processes (SOX) with a highly adaptable and dynamic compliance solution
