Risk Management For Compliance
Worldwide,
rapid changes are being made to the regulatory and governance aspects of
business. This means that there must be more of a focus on risk-based modules
for corporate governance when responding to new compliance measures. An example
of this is the Companies (law reform) Bill (currently passing through
parliament in the UK and due for royal assent in 2007). It requires
organisations to identify and manage such risks on its projects and business,
with failure to do so resulting in significant penalties
Identifying
the information risks that arise as a result of new projects, business advances
or changes in the business environment is paramount to ensuring that the
organisation meets its corporate governance obligations.

of these changes require a programme of control identification and
implementation. IRM can craft an appropriate programme for any client
