Presented by IGRC Network, the Integrated Governance, Risk & Compliance (IGRC) conference will uniquely address the issues of corporate governance, risk management and compliance with an integrated approach.

The event is supported by and will be formalising links with The Open and Compliance Ethics Group (OCEG), USA www.oceg.org. More and more, companies are looking to implement an integrated approach to address these corporate responsibilities and with an estimated €30 billion euro to be spent on GRC related issues globally in 2008, this business is now a hot topic. Major institutions across the globe are under increasing pressure to meet new regulatory changes and adopt new standards, while at the same time improve performance and maintain profitability.

The aim of an integrated GRC approach is to advance the concept of the interdependence of corporate governance, risk management and compliance within all businesses operating in a regulated environment. Integrated GRC practice provides a significant competitive edge in terms of client service and retention, staff development and competitiveness in the marketplace.
