Executive Summary
Governance, risk and compliance (GRC) describes an approach that emerged in the early 2000s as a response to the increasing complexity of managing corporate governance, risk and regulatory compliance, especially following high-profile corporate scandals and the subsequent tightening of regulations. Initially, GRC solutions were disparate systems focused on specific areas such as compliance management and risk assessment. However, the need for a more integrated approach has driven innovation in the more effective leveraging of GRC software to support the unification of these functions. This report provides insights into the top GRC trends Verdantix has identified for 2024, to help executives in risk, financial, sustainability and compliance roles navigate GRC activities in an evolving and interconnected risk landscape.
