In the previous posts we discussed Why Investigations Matter and Varied Approaches to Investigations Scattered Across the Organization, we now turn our attention to the issues of having proper oversight for investigation processes within the organization. Organizations are developing strategies to consistently manage a growing body of GRC-related processes that have historically been scattered across the organization……

  In the previous newsletter/post we discussed Why Investigations Matter, we now turn our attention to the issues of having Varied Approaches to Investigations Scattered Across the Organization. The problem is that organizations do not have a standardized methodology to consistently address investigations across the enterprise. Today’s typical organization struggles with manual, scattered, and ad hoc……

Investigations have many names, in parts of the organization they may be called issues, loss, matters, events, cases, and incidents.  I now turn our attention to a series of posts/newsletters on the topic of effectively managing corporate investigations.

 Why GRC & What Is It? GRC, simply put, is to provide collaboration between silos of governance, risk, and compliance. It is to get different business roles to share information and work in harmony. Harmony is a good metaphor, we do not want discord where the different parts of the organization are going down different……
