* Eduardo Camolez

From the largest and most complex to the smallest and simplest of companies, all have, or should have, concerns regarding the GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance).

By definition:

  • Governance: It is a set of rules, policies and procedures that establish the responsibilities of an organization and define its guidelines and objectives in order to coordinate the efforts of people, processes and technologies.
  • Risk: It is the effect of uncertainties on the company's strategic objectives, which can be measured through the relationship between the probability of an event occurring and its possible impacts.
  • Compliance: It is the degree of adherence of an organization to standards, laws, procedures and / or best practices, recommended or mandatory.

Although the GRC term itself suggests that themes are treated in a centralized manner and, consequently, all related information, this is not always what is observed in practice.

It is common to find companies that have areas like compliance, internal controls, risk management, internal audit, among others, working separately, in silos. Consequently, risk and control information tends to be duplicated and sometimes conflicting.

Thus, there is a need to integrate corporate initiatives into a single work model that avoids redundant controls, conflicts in decision making and facilitates alignment with strategic business objectives.

With the dynamism that the market demands in the strategic decision-making process, in addition to the information being centralized, it needs to be reliable, updated and properly formatted to support senior management.

With so many challenges, how to carry out risk governance and compliance assertively, centralized and with information online?

Changes motivated by the need to: adopt new business models, establish new relationships with partners, implement new technologies and address the growing number of cyber threats and risks.
