Incorporating both quantitative and qualitative measures, leading and lagging indicators, can provide a more comprehensive assessment of the GRC effectiveness and its impact on the organization's performance and risk profile.
To measure the effectiveness of a GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance) disciplines, organizations can use a combination of the following key performance metrics:
Governance Practices: The best practices of governance intend to enforce communication with clarity of roles, responsibilities, and authorities; set strategic alignment of corporate strategic objectives and operational activities; and improve the effectiveness of the board and executive leadership in oversight and decision-making. Evaluate the timeliness and quality of information provided to decision-makers. Also, assess the stakeholder satisfaction with the organization's governance practices
Risk Management Metrics: Risk management context aids us in understanding what’s relevant and what’s not, so set the right KPIs to assess the level of risk management maturity.
-Number of risks identified, assessed and actively managed
-Percentage of risks with defined mitigation strategies and action plans
-Timeliness and effectiveness of risk response activities
-Risk metric trends (risk exposure, risk scores, risk tolerance levels)
-Incidents or loss events resulting from unmanaged risks
-Employee awareness and engagement in the risk management process
Compliance Metrics: Evaluating risk for compliance obligations is needed to better manage compliance programs effectively.
-Number of compliance obligations (laws, regulations, industry standards) identified and tracked
-Percentage of compliance obligations that are actively monitored and reported on
-Number of compliance breaches or violations identified and remediated
-Timeliness of compliance reporting and issue resolution
-Audit findings and their resolution rates
-Employee training completion rates on compliance topics
Integrated GRC Metrics: It's always crucial to define the right set of KPIs and measure them effectively. The goal is to increase the overall organizational level of governance maturity.
- level of alignment between organizational objectives, risk profile, and compliance requirements
-the level of effectiveness of cross-functional collaboration and information sharing
-the percentage of GRC-related processes that are automated or digitized
-cost savings or operational efficiencies realized through the GRC framework
-confidence levels of stakeholders (regulators, investors, customers) in the organization's GRC practices
-percentage of employee engagement in the GRC practices
The well-selected metrics should be regularly reviewed and evaluated to identify areas for improvement, optimize the GRC processes and practices, and demonstrate the value they bring to the organization. The specific metrics used may vary depending on the organization's size, industry, risk profile, and strategic priorities. Incorporating both quantitative and qualitative measures, as well as leading and lagging indicators, can provide a more comprehensive assessment of the GRC effectiveness and its impact on the organization's performance and risk profile.
