Content: Many organizations have developed risk management activities in silos to meet regulatory and internal reporting requirements. This approach, taken over the years, has created a tremendous amount of overhead and fatigue within the organization when it comes to assessing and reporting on risks at a corporate level.

In addition, the presentation will discuss how to prepare for an implementation of GRC tools and technologies to enable the consolidated view of risk.

Objectives: Attendees will learn about:
• The concept of risk convergence with respect to GRC
• Leading GRC tools and technologies in the market
