Frequently asked questions

What does GRC stand for?

Governance, risk and compliance: how an organisation is directed and controlled, how it manages uncertainty, and how it meets laws, regulations and its own policies. Treating them together avoids gaps and duplicated controls.

How is this different from internal audit or banking compliance?

GRC courses build and run the framework. Internal audit courses test whether it works, and our banking courses cover sector rules such as AML and Basel III.

Which standards do the courses follow?

Mainly ISO 31000 and COSO ERM for risk, OECD and local codes for governance, and ISO 37301 for compliance management systems.
