Featured Success StoryKPMG's team helped a large power utility company develop a common language of risk and methodology to assess risk that would ultimately be enabled through the implementation of a GRC application. KPMG helped the company refine the business requirements and develop the common language of risk, including the organizational, process, risk, and control taxonomies. The common language of risk has allowed the oversight functions to manage risk at an appropriate level where they are not so far into the detail that they lose sight of the bigger picture.
