Forbes Study Reveals: GRC is Top of Mind


Forbes recently released the results of a survey showing the amount of resources that financial companies are devoting to risk management. After the financial crisis that took hold of the country in 2008, what theyfound shouldn’t be too surprising.

Most of the 192 U.S. executives from consumer and industrial products, life sciences, healthcare and technology/media/telecommunications industries that were surveyed said their organizations were looking at reorganizing and [reprioritizing] their approach to risk within the next 12 months; a whopping 91 percent reported that they plan to reorganize their approach to risk management over the next three years.

What is the cause of this new business priority? Volatility. Forbes’ report shows increased volatility across 11 key risk areas. Perhaps unsurprisingly, financial, strategic, and operating risks were of the highest concern. The Forbes report is free to download, and should be required reading for anyone in the finance or compliance industry.
