Senior Vice President Governance, Risk & Compliance (Catalight)
Employment Type : Full-Time
Senior Vice President Governance, Risk & ComplianceROLE DESCRIPTIONThe Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG) describe Principled Performance as the healthy and vigorous state of being that enables success and can only be achieved by setting common goals, aligning information and core functions, and supporting them with strong communication, effective technology, and development of the desired culture. “Forward-thinking organizations have adopted a vision of Principled Performance — a point of view and approach to business that helps organizations reliably achieve objectives while addressing uncertainty and acting with integrity. This enables performance while considering both threats and opportunities, while honoring mandatory commitments including legal compliance and voluntary promises found in statements of mission, vision and values, contracts, and employee agreements.” Integrating governance, performance, risk, internal control and compliance management (GRC) is key to a Principled Performance approach. OCEG defines a GRC program as a “system of people, processes and technology that enable an organization to:- Understand and prioritize stakeholder expectations
- Set business objectives that are congruent with values and risks
- Achieve objectives while optimizing risk profiles and protecting value
- Operate within legal, contractual, internal, social and ethical boundaries
- Provide relevant, reliable and timely information to appropriate stakeholders
- Enable the measurement of the performance and effectiveness of the system
These interrelated activities have much in common; an integrated approach can improve performance while reducing costs. Importantly, integration does not mean consolidation. Rather, the various GRC areas should adopt a common vocabulary, methods and, if appropriate, shared technology and shared services to be more efficient, effective and agile. It means being able to do your job better, faster and more economically with the right tools. GRC programs build a robust risk management culture and mature GRC programs help move an organization from a reactive stance, where the organization is simply compliant with regulations, to a proactive position in which the organization is managing risk across the enterprise with a common view of exposure and response.
