LeanGRC® Policy Management
Policy management sets the tone to streamline governance, risk and compliance processes.
Policies are the lifeblood of a company’s governance activities. They establish expectations that not only advance business interests, but also help prevent events or behaviors that hinder the achievement of business goals. Let’s consider how the principles of LeanGRC® can be applied to the critical function of setting and enforcing corporate policies.
A policy is a statement that embodies the goals and behavior that the company wants to instill in its employees and business partners. Policies change with new regulatory requirements, business goals and risk tolerances.
Of course, we know that policies are not all equal. A policy that prohibits employees from bribing governmental officials requires stronger controls to support and enforce it than a policy that does not relate to compliance with law and is less critical to successful operation of the business. The application of LeanGRC® principles to policy management helps in the determination of how to allocate resources to support and enforce various policies.
