Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
Introduction
The recent decade of compliance and governance violations committed by Fortune 500 enterprises is indeed alarming. Most notably, big firms such as Volkswagen, Wells Fargo Bank, Toyota, Meta Platforms, Theranos, Wirecard and the entire banking industry had led many to question the lack of both governance and compliance in the workplace. Many questions had been asked by regulators, shareholders and by members of the general public who were puzzled by their behaviours.
Global businesses increasingly rely on technology and digital information for their operations. Risks related to digitalised services have been escalated to the Board of Directors’ (BOD) agenda. As a result, many corporations need to improve their cybersecurity practices and resilience to succeed in this new environment.
Compliance and governance start at the top management including the Board of Directors (BoDs) level. Both BoDs and top management must emphasise standards of honesty and integrity and in which they must lead by example to instil the right corporate culture. Failure to consider the impact of its actions on its shareholders, customers, employees and the markets may result in significant adverse publicity and reputational damage, even if no laws has been broken.
This 1-day workshop will focus on the few essential skills and awareness that a risk or compliance or governance manager needs. You'll learn how each of these skill sets impacts a manager's ability to effectively lead his or her employees.
