The GRC Achievement Awards recognize the great strides that companies, government agencies and other organizations have made in improving and integrating their approaches to governance, risk management and compliance (GRC) to achieve Principled Performance.
One recipient of the GRC Achievement Awards is also selected by the judging panel as the project that best exemplifies a pathway to Principled Performance and this year’s winner, Sybase, impressed our panel by describing successful efforts to integrate governance, risk and compliance into the rhythm of the business.
The goal of Principled Performance - the reliable achievement of objectives, while addressing uncertainty and acting with integrity – is supported by taking an an integrated, rather than siloed approach across your business areas and the processes of governance, assurance and management of performance, risk, and compliance. OCEG established the GRC Achievement Awards in 2010 to offer recognition to organizations that have undertaken to gain Principled Performance and to provide examples and inspiration for organizations of all types and sizes to follow.
The recipients of the 2012 awards presented projects that addressed the following key points and demonstrated commitment to continue movement toward achievement of Principled Performance.
* Implementation of a significant portion of the OCEG Red Book GRC Capability Model
* A project that took an integrated, rather than siloed approach across business areas and the processes of governance and management of risk, compliance and more (finance, process improvement, quality, legal or audit).
* Demonstration of how the project made it easier for the organization to achieve Principled Performance in specific financial (revenue, cost, profit, share price, growth) and operational (production, quality, customer satisfaction) terms.
