MetricStream to Host a Webinar with Forrester Research on Trends in Enterprise GRC

MetricStream, Inc., the market leader in enterprise-wide Governance, Risk, Compliance (GRC) and Quality Management solutions, today announced that it is hosting a complimentary webinar with Forrester Research titled “GRC at its Inflection Point: How Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit Will Change Business in 2009” on Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 10:00am Pacific. The interactive session will feature Forrester Research Analyst, Chris McClean, a thought leader on GRC and related issues of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.

Those responsible for risk management, compliance and internal audit are being asked to take on greater leadership roles to help their companies weather deep economic challenges. As organizations consider new techniques to succeed in managing risks, compliance and controls, what role can integrated Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) play in meeting the evolving needs of global corporations and the rising expectations of investors, regulators and the board? How can companies adopt a more inclusive approach to audit, risk management and regulatory compliance that extends beyond the traditional focus on controls and guides corporate strategy and decision-making?

The seminar will include discussion on issues such as:

1. Creating a GRC program that focuses on business value
2. Linking GRC performance metrics to strategic goals
3. Managing increasing scrutiny and oversight of business practices
4. Supporting role of internal audit
5. Reducing GRC cost and complexity

Mr. McClean will be joined by Gaurav Kapoor, CFO and General Manager at MetricStream.
