Introduction:-

Oracle GRC term is relatively new word compared to Oracle E Business Suite , But it is getting hot day by day. Where GRC Stands for Governance – Risk Management – Compliance. GRC takes cares of Corporate Governance ,Corporate Compliance , and Enterprise Risk management. GRC integrates organizations to manage known and unknown risks – which helps to demonstrate compliance with their organizational policies and external regulations.GRC includes Orchestrating employees in other words we can call it as configuring GRC system as well as configuring employees or an organization. GRC came into spotlight only after  Sarbanes-Oxley Act which need for all US listed companies to design and implement suitable SOX compliance.


Components of Oracle GRC:-

CCG: – Configurations Controls Governor
CCG mainly geared towards application integrity and functionality. The solution enables tracking of all changes, providing a detailed audit history, and records designated setup values, permitting quick comparison of values from different points in time or environments. With Oracle Configuration Controls Governor, you can ensure application integrity, audit changes, and continuously monitor setups. As a result, you can reduce financial loss, regulatory cost, audit effort, and the risks associated with them.

TCG: – Transaction controls Governor
TCG continuously monitors transactions against policies to detect suspicious transactions or redundant business practices that get in the way of performance. By spotting anomalies in everyday transactions, the system prevents cash leakage , TCG resides inside AACG which will minimize the installation efforts.
