By measuring and monitoring the operational benefits of an integrated approach to governance, risk and compliance (GRC), your team can assist management in making the critical connection between strong compliance processes and tangible business results in areas as wide ranging as revenue enhancement, reputation and brand protection, customer attraction and retention, higher profitability/lower costs, improved workforce performance, asset protection and so on.
In other words, these are many of the key attributes of an effectively run business. Bottom line benefits include:
Integrated risk and control activities
This mean that compliance becomes part of daily duties and standard operating procedures.
Process optimization
Non-value-added activities (time wasters!) are identified and eliminated and value-added activities are streamlined to reduce lag time and undesirable variation. (Streamlined business processes)
Better capital allocation
Identifying redundant and ineffective areas allows resources to be allocated more effectively.
Improved effectiveness
The net effect of all the activities above means that activities are directed to the right people and departments.
Protected reputation
when risks are managed more effectively, company reputation is enhanced, which ultimately results in an increase in the value of your business.
Higher quality information
Integrating the right information allows management to make more intelligent decisions more rapidly.
Effective oversight mechanism
It’s time to really know what is happening in your business.
Reduced costs
Lower costs contribute to the overall business gains.
