Join the inaugural 2023 State of GRC Management Report preview webinar. This new and unique report highlights the collective insight of more than 300 GRC program decision makers at North American and European organizations.  

In this webinar, you will hear a wide variety of insights and perspectives evaluating how current governance, enterprise risk, and compliance programs are managed, including: 

  • The critical role GRC programs play in meeting a wide variety of business goals. 
  • The obstacles GRC professionals face. 
  • How respondents would like to see GRC programs evolve over the next few years.  
  • And a first-ever analysis of the impact an integrated GRC information system (GRC-IS) approach has on risk and compliance program outcomes. 

Don’t miss hearing these highly valuable findings to help you enhance your GRC program to better inform critical and strategic business decisions.

In Their Own Words – Perspectives from GRC Leaders 

In addition to the commissioned survey of GRC professionals, we conducted in-depth, one-on-one interviews with GRC decision makers in the U.S. and Europe.

  • We are already using a policy management platform. We are already using an investigations system. We are already using a conflicts of interest system. Why wouldn’t the systems speak to each other? Why aren’t we there yet?

    GRC Executive

  • I would use the term ‘GRC program’ lightly, because we don’t have a formal GRC tool. We have an ERM program that is the umbrella for all the company’s risks. That includes strategic, operational, and compliance risks.

    Chief Compliance Officer

  • We have spent a good deal of time in the last five years getting a robust ethics and compliance program across the organization with as many consistent processes as possible. I think we’re at a stage where we have a pretty robust process. That is not to say it cannot be improved.

    Government Compliance Executive

  • It’s great to have data, but if you don’t know what to do with the it, if you’re not connecting the dots, even having dashboards is not that helpful. At the end of the day, how actionable is that data?
