Corporate Governance is the system by which organizations are directed and controlled. It involves regulatory and market mechanisms, the relationships between an entity’s management, its board, its shareholders, and other stakeholders, as well as the goals for which the entity is governed. Corporate Governance, therefore, is about strategy as well as Risk Management. Compliance is a core function within a broader definition of risk management and control. Governance, Risk, and Compliance are very closely intertwined and are best presented in an integrated format in order to give business leaders the readily applicable tools to succeed.
