Compliance Integration and Governance Planning Across the Corporation

How can businesses best address this governance dilemma? True corporate governance cannot be ultimately achieved without having a single, comprehensive, and integrated view and control of all risk management, regulations, policies and compliance activities across the corporation.

According to a Gartner Group study, the only way to bring sense to this situation is to strategically plan for governance. "Take a programmatic - not project - approach to compliance," said Gartner. "Clarify roles and responsibilities for governance. Simplify governance with common control objectives and common controls across the company, its business units and its subsidiaries."
