Trends 2010: Governance, Risk, And Compliance Aim To Support A Controlled Recovery

The world is looking to recover from massive and widespread economic failures while mitigating what could likely be several aftershocks and potentially greater collapses in the future. Governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) professionals saw their influence increase substantially in the past year, and they will be asked to play an even greater role in organizations realizing that recovery and growth need to be well-controlled. During this recovery, GRC professionals and the vendors that serve them must focus on efforts that support business performance, close the gap between business and IT, streamline compliance processes, leverage available content and guidance, and include consideration for myriad external factors. Future success of GRC programs depends on the ability to function as part of the business.
