As the term exclaims, Risk and Compliance Management is the coordinated integration of all governance, risk management, and compliance activities within an organization. Governance refers to the coordinated processes and strategies established by the management to meet their risk management objectives. Risk management is the management of uncertainties within the risk appetite of the company, and compliance refers to the company complying with policies,, laws, regulations and partner requirements. The integrated components should complement each other and also have a positive impact on the efficiency of the organization’s people, process, and technology.
