Fast-evolving risk

Businesses and corporations face fast-evolving risk environments and digital transformation every day, while more and more customers and employees are looking for companies that align with their values. According to research, over 75% of organisations acknowledge that siloed technology systems pose a risk management challenge, while only 35% take enterprise-level action to address the issue. The event will look at the current drivers and trends impacting GRC and how organisations must focus on agility, resilience, integrity, and accountability in managing risks.

 

Announcing the GPRC Summit, Tor Inge Vasshus, Founder and CEO of Corporater, said: “Business risks evolve very quickly, often they are external, such as third-party vendors, supply chains, regulatory issues, privacy concerns, cyberattacks, environmental regulations, and sometimes they are internal, such as operational, financial and other challenges. These issues are usually interrelated risks that require comprehensive solutions. The need for a holistic approach to GRC has never been more critical to organisations.”

 

He added: “As the business environment changes, companies need to evolve their GPRC strategies to maintain a comprehensive view of interconnected risks, understand the financial implications and make more informed decisions at all levels.”-- TradeArabia News Service
