Description

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the role of lawyers in an integrated approach to governance, risk management, and compliance (GRC) has become increasingly important. Mastering GRC: The Lawyer's Guide to Success in Governance, Risk, and Compliance is a comprehensive resource designed to equip legal professionals with the knowledge, tools, and strategies necessary to navigate this multifaceted field. As organizations face mounting regulatory pressures, heightened stakeholder expectations, and an ever-changing risk landscape, lawyers find themselves at the forefront of efforts to ensure organizational integrity, resilience, and success. The information and guidance provided in this book are designed to assist lawyers in meeting the challenge, whether they work in-house in a large corporation or a small/medium enterprise (SME), government agency, or law firm. The book references "your client organization," which may mean the company or division you serve as an in house team member, your client if you are situated in a law firm or advisory firm, or the government agency in which you are employed.

Author Bio

Carole Stern Switzer, Esq., is the cofounder of the global nonprofit think tank OCEG, joining founder Scott L. Mitchell in January 2003. The organizations initial mission was to improve corporate compliance and ethics by developing standards, and so it was called the Open Complianceand Ethics Group. As that work began in the spring of 2003, conversations amongst the drafting committee members expanded beyond compliance and ethicsmoving into performance management, riskmanagement, governance, and assurance. The team decided that what was needed were standards for a fully integrated approach to all these organizational aspects, focusing primarily on governance, risk management, and compliance. So OCEG created the term GRC to represent these (and additional) capabilities that would ensure the integration of governance, assurance, and management of performance, risk, compliance, and ethics. Over the past 20+ years, Carole has been a leading expert in GRC, writing frequently on the topic and presenting keynote addresses at numerous events globally. She has continued to define and refine GRC concepts, authoring numerous resources published by OCEG and providing articles for many magazines and other publications.
