Business is complex. Continued change in regulatory compliance, globalization, distributed operations, risk management processes, competitive momentum from many countries, 3rd party business relationships, upgrading technology, big data and quality business data issues burden organizations of all trades and sizes. All of the above challenges require simple yet sophisticated and comprehensive GRC structures. Synchronizing the above components of prudent GRC management like keeping complexity and change in force, provides a significant challenge for the board of directors, senior executives, IT management and governance, risk management and compliance professionals (GRC) throughout the business world. Recommendations from past conferences and events have played an important role in providing solutions, influencing discussion on GRC policy issues with all stakeholders. A number of recommendations from the past 7 conferences have played a prominent role in solving GRC problems when successfully implemented by the participants. The conference provides a framework for all GRC stakeholders’ incl. management, oversight authorities, policy makers, researchers to explore GRC policy and services, and to make recommendations for the future implementations. The 8th annual GRC Summit consists of presentations of strategic issues, business case studies, Keynote, Panel & breakout sessions, workshops, Q&A Roundtables and a 360° course for charting the global CSR culture. The summit is limited to 100 top executives who gather from across the Scandinavian and European companies over 2 days to challenge the GRC discussion, focus on the future GRC agenda and debate how businesses hands-on can prepare for forthcoming challenges.
