Driven by increased complexity of doing business due to globalization, re-engineered products and services and outsourcing, businesses are striving to stay ahead of the competition in a dynamic risk landscape. Even a minor oversight or mishap may indelibly hurt a company's reputation, credibility and business connections.
The risk landscape grew even more complex with successive introduction of new rules and regulations by government authorities and industry regulatory authorities (i.e. Sarbanes Oxley, KonTrag, Basel II, J-SOX etc.), rendering the stand-alone project- based approach to compliance and risk management obsolete and expensive.
