This white paper highlights the value of creating and implementing a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) architecture. The report is underpinned by findings of a global survey of 542 executives conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by KPMG ELLP. The white paper also considers various aspects of GRC convergence, including its benefits to organizations, and also discusses the steps companies need to take in order to achieve enterprise resilience.
