At last week's Enablon user conference in Chicago, I got the opportunity to better understand how large companies manage those processes, especially around risk, regulations and transparency requirements. |

Complying with governmental regulations is a time-consuming task with lots of paperwork and plenty of manual workarounds. Still another layer of knowledge is necessary to ensure suppliers are in compliance with certain standards.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) systems, which evolved out of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, address these compliance issues—plus quality, policy, and procedure management. GRC solutions assist users with internal audits and self-assessment tools, and building risk profiles for suppliers. |
