The term
GRC gathers aspects so wide but unavoidably related, as the management of the good Governance at entities, the Risk management, or the Compliance.
All of that connects with the maintenance of a global Internal Control system, whose international reference standard is COSO initiative (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), and COSO II and COSO III afterwards.
COSO methodology is based in three main different but related categories: The effectiveness and efficiency of operations; the reliability of financial reporting; and the compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
There are many existing regulations or recommendations about internal control at organizations, which are to a greater or lesser extent based at COSO principles, such as SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act), European Directive Solvenci II, IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), ISA (International Standards on Auditing) issued by International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB).
With all of that, it is possible to understand the high importance for entities with regard to the disposal of a complete, global, traceable and exploitable internal control and risk management system.
