Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a structured approach that organizations use to align their operations with business objectives, manage uncertainties, and adhere to laws and regulations. By integrating these three components, GRC helps organizations operate ethically, mitigate risks, and meet compliance requirements efficiently.
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is a landmark U.S. federal law designed to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures and strengthening internal controls over financial reporting.
Risk Control Matrix (RCM)
A risk control matrix (RCM) is a structured tool that helps organizations connect known risks to the internal controls established to mitigate them. The risk control matrix is especially valuable in regulated industries or organizations with complex processes, as it serves as a practical reference point for internal teams, auditors, and external stakeholders.
Month- or Year-End Closing
Month-end closing is a critical accounting process where an organization finalizes its financial records for a specific month.
