Leading with Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC):
Strategy, Risk and Control

Introduction

In today's business world, organizations face increasing challenges that require them to develop robust and effective management systems to ensure their sustainability and growth. 

Governance, risk management, and internal control are three fundamental pillars that together form an integrated strategic framework aimed at achieving institutional objectives and protecting the interests of all stakeholders. This framework is not limited to compliance with regulatory requirements only, but extends to include enhancing transparency and accountability and improving decision-making processes at all management levels.

The proper implementation of governance principles ensures the existence of a clear administrative structure that defines roles and responsibilities, while risk management contributes to identifying and assessing potential threats and developing strategies to deal with them proactively. Internal control provides mechanisms for continuous monitoring and verification of the effectiveness of institutional operations and procedures. This integration between the three elements creates a robust work environment that supports sustainable growth and protects the organization from risks.
