Corporate Governance
Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook for Oracle Applications
This book covers the topic of Governance Risk and Compliance management. It seems that every year since the Enron collapse, there has been a fresh debacle that refuses
to lower the spotlight from this area. Before Sarbanes-Oxley forced the management of companies to become risk conscious, if you asked a Chief Executive whether he thought he had adequate internal controls, I think the most likely the answer would have been "What is an internal control?" This is clearly no longer the case. Every week some story of lack of good governance, failure to plan for a foreseeable catastrophe,
or failure to comply with an important law or regulation, brings the GRC themes into public view and scrutiny and this makes management and directors keen to show they have put their best efforts forward to govern their companies well, manage risks to the enterprise, and to comply with all applicable laws.
Perhaps only Oracle and SAP are in a position to really address all three aspects of Governance, Risk, and Compliance. The mission of the GRC applications is to ensure that the managers and directors of the enterprises that run our applications have a strong defensible position. The mission is to provide:
• Controls that provide the highest degree of mitigation to the risks to the enterprise
• Efficiency in testing and consistency in enforcement of Controls
• Highest degree of certainty in the risk assessment
• Lowering the costs of collating the Management Assertions of the effectiveness of the controls for investors
