MEGA will present new options for companies to manage enterprise complexity at the 2014 GRC Conference in Palm Beach, FL August 18-20.
“Some of the most important issues that companies face today include ethics, sustainability, compliance, transparency and accountability”
At the conference co-sponsored by The Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) and ISACA, GRC professionals will hear how to develop new strategies in enterprise governance and risk management to bridge the gap between governance oversight at the board level and governance deployment at the business and operational level.
“Some of the most important issues that companies face today include ethics, sustainability, compliance, transparency and accountability,” explained Lucio de Risi, CEO, MEGA. “These are rising concerns that can be managed successfully through effective corporate governance. Many enterprises are now developing and deploying superior governance strategies to enable cross-department communication, streamline GRC processes and root GRC in business operations.”
Automation of the functions that contribute to effective governance, including risk management, internal control, quality assurance, internal audit and compliance, is critical to ensure that departments are empowered and equipped to carry out efficient operations and reliable reporting.
Many companies still struggle with silos of information because their employees use word processing, spreadsheet or diagramming tools that are difficult to share and nearly impossible to keep current or accurate. Automation of GRC activities using software that can also be used to improve business productivity throughout a company resolves these issues and brings added value to organizations.

The solutions are used to solve complex business challenges and achieve effective enterprise governance.
