Technology and Governance News |
|
There is a new buzzword - “GRC” (or Governance, Risk Manangement, and Compliance). In this world of regulations and compliance issues, board of directors and senior management must be aware of GRC objectives. GRC combines the concepts of governance, risk, and compliance into one overall concept that is used to improve business models from a risk point of view while ensuring appropriate governance, oversight, monitoring, and compliance. For more in-depth information and articles on this relatively novel approach to governance, go to the following websites: The Open Compliance and Ethics Group The Governance, Risk Management and Compliance Roundtable (GRC-RT) |
