Good governance is not an option, but mainly a requirement set by the new business era. The expectations of the stakeholders, the regulatory obligations, the investment criteria are all based on high principles of governance.

Organisations can no longer ignore this increased demand of transparency, ethical culture and ethos which are the basis of resilience and profitability.

Organisations must ensure that they take well-informed decisions, that the highly complex portfolio of potential risks has been properly identified, assessed, and treated and also their strategy and their risk appetite are fully aligned with the risk management framework in order to achieve their strategic objectives.

Organisations must also identify their emerging compliance risks and efficiently mitigate them. Good governance is based on robust internal control systems, part of which is the compliance management system.
