Praise for Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook

Technology, Finance, Environmental, and International Guidance and Best Practices

"[This] text provides valuable insights into the major changes in regulatory and risk management coming to the banking and insurance industries with deeper dives into operational risk best practices including Six Sigma and related corporate governance and banking requirements for the major national and regional economies. The sections on IT governance and GRC tools should be very helpful for IT professionals in the financial services sector."
Gabriel David, Director Financial Services Sector, Global Technology Services, IBM Corporation

"The GRC Handbook provides an outstanding resource to assist today's managers in navigating through the ever-expanding maze of governance and risk-based regulations, technical standards, and best practice frameworks. The text surveys the wide range of issues involved in GRC, and is truly global in scope with corporate governance overviews of the leading economies, regions, industries, and technologies. The volume makes a very effective case for a proactive and holistic approach to GRC."
Daniel Cooperman, Senior Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel, Apple Computer; former general counsel and secretary to the board of directors, Oracle Corp.

"Governance, risk management, and compliance are the key words for today's successful corporate managers. All three are necessary for navigating the shoals of the complex world of business, finance, and accounting. Comprehensively treated in this book, they all require a mastery of the flow of information. The chapter on XBRL alone, highlighting its capacity for making information serve management's many different purposes, is only one of the rewards of this groundbreaking work."
Peter J. Wallison, Senior Fellow, American Enterprise Institute

"The growing importance of risk management has brought into focus the need to leverage Six Sigma as a best practice framework. This pioneering work provides introductions to Six Sigma, operational risk best practices, and the quantification of risk management, which is essential reading for any organization needing to meet risk-based regulatory requirements while improving operating effectiveness."
Dr. James Harrington, Master Black Belt, and founder of the leading Six Sigma training program in the U.S.

"The chapter on Islamic finance is well researched and provides concise theoretical and practical information on the expanding concept of Islamic finance."
Rateb Wazani, Attorney-at-Law, former judge of the Jordanian Supreme Court and former minister of justice

Aus dem Klappentext

Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook

Technology, Finance, Environmental, and International Guidance and Best Practices

Compliance has emerged from a peripheral concern of auditors and lawyers to an area that encompasses an entire organization as well as its suppliers, customers, and other stakeholders. All business managers, from mid-level to executives, need to understandwhat is coming at them in terms of the multitude of compliance initiatives designed to improve transparency in financial reporting and good corporate governance. These initiatives are often confusing, overlapping, and, in some cases, contradictory in nature.

Providing a comprehensive framework for a sustainable governance model, and how to leverage it in competing global markets, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook presents a very readable overview to the political, regulatory, technical, process, and people considerations in complying with an ever more demanding regulatory environment and achieving good corporate governance.

An invaluable reference tool for CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, COOs, CPOs, and other executives, board members, legal counsel, global compliance officers, managers, and employees, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook helps business leaders survive and prosper in the global marketplace that has grown at double the rate of production over the last fifteen years.

Featuring contributions from sixty-four industry experts from fifteen different countries, Governance, Risk, and Compliance Handbook offers an international overview of compliance challengesand thenational and regional guidelines to compliance.
