Let’s Talk – Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)

Build a top-performing GRC culture that turns disruption into an advantage.

Change is a constant. Leaders who establish agile, efficient and integrated governance, risk and compliance cultures control and manage business challenges better than their competitors. These leaders turn GRC-related disruption into an advantage.

An integrated approach to GRC calls for a unified view of the required controls and policies. Specifically, what is needed is a governance, risk analysis and management strategy correctly aligned with business objectives and tolerance levels, and industry/organization compliance requirements, processes and systems. Building a GRC culture delivers efficiencies, resiliency and enhanced performance.

Organizations need to build a culture for Governance, Risk and Compliance to drive increased value

High-performing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) cultures encompass three key elements:

  1. GRC becomes an integral part of all engagement internally and externally with customers, partners, constituents and regulators – think of it as a valued contributor rather than an inhibitor
  2. GRC is built into standard business processes and organization performance
  3. Implementing enterprise tool-based solutions enables efficient tasks, transactions and reporting

Integrate GRC into all engagement touchpoints across your value chain

Building a GRC culture begins with defining a roadmap and establishing your unique standards framework – aligned with regulatory requirements – and fit for your business purpose. The first step in the roadmap starts with an assessment and analysis of your governance, risk and compliance posture; identifying strengths and opportunities for improvement and new practices.

A top-performing GRC culture requires business transformation – people, process and technology. Manual processes become automated, integrated and efficient. Policies and practices become unified, agile and sustainable; and controls, monitoring and reporting deliver consistency and transparency.

GRC technologies accelerate process change, support desired people performance and speed implementation of new GRC practices. Taking a business transformation approach also involves developing and deploying organizational training and support to ensure successful adoption.
