Overview
IBM can help CFOs and CROs (Chief Risk Officers) identify, assess, manage and optimize business risks, taking a holistic approach that integrates business risk management and performance management, including compliance, where required, as part of the overall business strategy and execution. Our framework is designed to help organizations evolve from basic compliance and ad-hoc responses to risk events, to optimized business risk management, in which the value of risk management far outweighs the costs.
Trends in globalization, shorter response times and increased business complexity have again brought the importance of risk to the forefront, placing an additional burden on the already busy finance agenda and on senior risk management executives.
After hundreds of regulations and nearly three years of organizations adhering to new standards of compliance, Sarbanes-Oxley has changed not only the face of how organizations view their financial statements, but also how they view their overall risk profile.
