Oracle Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC)

    Top Management of Big Companies are facing challenges from lack of information on various Risk faced by all departments / divisions at individual company level and group level and the effective Controls in place are not reported in a consolidated manner as they are managed in fragmented and silo manner at various department level.

    Challenges

    • Most organizations respond to regulatory requirements or risk events in a silos or piecemeal fashion. This leads to a duplication of effort, duplication of controls and duplication of activities. In the end, the fragmented efforts lead to the inability to see and therefore properly evaluate the performance of enterprise-wide GRC activities.
    • Most organizations do not have a disciplined approach to risk management. IT, Finance, Manufacturing, HR, Sales and Line Managers respond to specific risks in isolation and cannot see the impact of the risk in combination with others. Responses are often knee-jerk, tactical, and focused on putting out fires. Data gathering for risk analytics is manual and cannot scale to the volumes generated by modern business operations.
    • GRC activities are often manual and ad-hoc. Control activities are often done after-the-fact, separately from the business process itself. As a result, out-of-policy activities are not prevented and normal business operations are interrupted with requests to satisfy compliance requirements.
