Innovation in Compliance with Tom Fox In Conversation with K2 Intelligence FIN: Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future - Part 2: GRC at Work
Welcome to this special podcast series, In Conversation with K2 Intelligence FIN: Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future, sponsored by K2 Intelligence FIN. This week I visit with K2 Intelligence FIN, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Jeremy Kroll on GRC Risks, Strategies, and the Future. Over the week, we will review the current Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) landscape, look at GRC at work, consider GRC and the investment community, review GRC and K2 Intelligence FIN and conclude with a look at GRC then and now. In Part 2, we consider some examples of GRC at work.
From the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) world, there is Siemens, which sustained a $1.6bn fine from both US regulators and German regulators for its institutional corruption. The case still remains a landmark settlement and clear failure of a GRC framework. While the company had the rules, policies, and procedures written down, their GRC controls ultimately failed because of a lack of adequate leadership and a culture that enabled corrupt behavior. Following the enforcement action, it became clear they had to reinforce their compliance controls and corporate governance framework.
We ended with some of the biggest takeaways. First, mitigate risk on an ongoing basis. Next, be proactive, not reactive. Finally, it is all about culture. Please join us as we explore this and other GRC-related issues over this podcast series. Tomorrow we examine GRC and the investment community.
