This document discusses building a business case for boosting a governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) program. It provides metrics and frameworks for demonstrating the value of GRC programs and automation through increased efficiency, risk reduction, and enhanced performance. Senior executives are more likely to support GRC programs if they are presented with customized, high-level reporting that addresses risk assessments, trends, and other relevant issues and shows how the program improves the bottom line. Effective business cases focus on benefits like flexibility, cost savings, and better decision-making based on risk intelligence. Regular reporting is needed to continue building support over time.

1) Are we going to wait for a crisis to do something?
Crisis could be a fine, lawsuit, negative press coverage and/or reputation damage that will
take years to recover from. (Do we want to be the nextVolkswagen, FIFA, etc.)
2) Are we missing an opportunity to add significant value?
More and more studies show that better GRC practices and a strong organizational culture,
characterized by ethical behavior from top to bottom, creates improved bottom-line
performance.
3) Are we losing a competitive advantage by not investing in GRC?
Ability to attract and retain top talent increases, and turnover decreases in the most ethical
companies.
4) Are we enjoying short-term gains while setting ourselves up for unacceptable levels of
long-term risk?
Profits may look good now. But if regulators came in, would we be able to defendand
documentour decision-making processes related to compliance?
5) Are we taking the right risksand enough risks?
Strong GRC helps you take the right risks in the right way, rather than taking blind leaps.
