http://spr.ly/SAP_GRC - Confidence comes from knowing your organization can anticipate and respond to risks that could disrupt or derail your core operations. But risk management isn’t simply a process or a program – you need board-level risk oversight and a company-wide framework for risk-adjusted decision making.

framework for risk-adjusted decision making.
The benefits are clear
SAP’s enterprise risk management
framework has enabled this mining
company to shift from a “check-box”
and compliance-related culture to
real risk mitigation, from operational
to board level.4
Success Story:
Exxaro
The need for action
Over the next 18 months,
more than half of
companies will apply
horizon scanning,
early warning systems,
scenario planning,
and flexible risk
appetite statements.3
Technology
as an enabler
8 out of 10
companies plan to
develop risk-related
performance
incentives, while
7 out of 10 plan
to conduct talent
audits to identify
skills gaps.3
People as well as processes
Next-gen risk analytics
Companies are planning to implement
integrated risk data warehouses
(up 100%) and risk dashboards
(up 50%) to identify hidden patterns
and risk linkages in Big Data.3
27% of organizations still have no
enterprise risk management (ERM)
framework or policy.
A fragmented approach
Companies are more concerned
with meeting compliance goals
than embedding risk management
into day-to-day operations.1
Missing the mark
The risk picture today
organizations within the financial services industry have
a chief risk officer, but in one-third of companies, there
is no board-level oversight over strategic risk.2
A lack of risk oversight
