  14. What GRC Is • Is GRC really a thing? • Do companies do GRC?

  15. What GRC Is “Organizations have been doing GRC since the dawn of business. We did not need a three-letter acronym to all of a sudden do GRC. Every organization has some approach to the aspects of governance, risk management, and compliance: from the ad hoc and disorganized to the mature and aligned. GRC is part of business whether you call it GRC, something else like ERM, or you have no name for it at all. The question to consider is how mature is your organization’s GRC practices.” --Michael Rasmussen, GRC 20/20

  16. GOVERNANCE • Who • What • When • Where • Why • How • Bonus: To What Extent

  17. What GovernanceIs • The dictionary says… • “The way that a city, company, etc., is controlled by the people who run it” (Merriam-Webster) • “The way that organizations or countries are managed at the highest level, and the systems for doing this” (Cambridge)

  18. What GovernanceIs • The ITGI says… • “Governance includes the elements required to provide senior management assurance that its direction and intent are reflected in the…organization by utilizing a structured approach.”

  19. What GovernanceIs • Much less formally… • Governance is the process of governing processes

  20. What GovernanceIs • Is governance really a thing? • Do companies dogovernance?

  21. What GovernanceIs • Corporate governance is a lot like government: • The people elect representatives • Who direct appointed/hired managers • To implement processes compliant with policy set by representatives • Which themselves should reflect the “direction and intent” of the people

  22. What GovernanceIs • In public companies: • Shareholders elect board members • Who appoint/hire managers • To implement processes compliant with policy set by the board • Which should reflect the “direction and intent” of the shareholders

  23. What Governance Is • Your organization ISdoing governance • It is not always apparent, or formalized • It is done slightly differently everywhere • It is not any more or less important due to the size of the organization • But it may be more or less complex

  24. How Governance Is Done • There are standardized frameworks and methodologies for general governance, however… • They are purposely high-level or vague • There is a lot of variation from organization to organization • Organizations and their needs change over time

  25. How Governance Is Done • Some example frameworks/methodologies: • COSO? Not really…

  26. How Governance Is Done • Some example frameworks/methodologies: • Principles of Corporate Governance • Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) • Not to be confused with the Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG)

  27.

  32. Back To What Governance Is • Governance is not technical • Governance is not internal control • Governance is not really even management

  33. Back To What Governance Is • Governance is not technical • Governance is not internal control • Governance is not really even management • This way of thinking can lead to over-control… inefficiency… even attrition

  34. How Governance Is Done • Organization of the organization is part of the organization’s governance • How did the organization of your organization get organized the way it is today?

  35. How Governance Is Done • Articles of incorporation • Bylaws • Charters • Resolutions • Policies

  46. How Governance Is Done • The audit committee is typically in the bylaws • Where do other committees, councils, etc. get their authority? • Is the authority documented or implied? • Where do officers, managers, etc. get their authority?

  47. How Governance Is Done • Policies help doers know the extent of their authority • Policies help governors know the scope of doers’ responsibility

  48. How Governance Is Done • Policies help doers know the extent of their authority • Policies help governors know the scope of doers’ responsibility • Doers should not have to ask permission to do something that fits under policy • Governors should not feel compelled to approve something that fits under policy

  49. How Governance Is Done • Depending on company culture… • A doer might be given the “creative latitude” to implement using his/her judgement • A doer might struggle to implement using his/her judgement because there is no policy giving the authority, and “governing bodies” or senior managers may disapprove, be slow to approve, require consensus, etc. • May go for both implementing processes and establishing policy, depending on who the doer is

  50. How Governance Is Done • What is one to do then? It depends… • Organizations are run by people; people are subject to perception and influence
