IGCA Becomes The Association of Governance, Risk and Compliance (AGRC)
Since our inaugural days two years ago, our Association has sought to be one of the leading global advocates of Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance (GRC) for the financial services world and beyond.
From the get-go, our aspirations have always been international in nature, as demonstrated by our more than 900 members in close to 50 jurisdictions spanning Europe, the Americas, Middle East, Asia, and Africa.
Today, we take the next step in our GRC adventure, striving to bolster the impact best GRC practices have on organisations and individuals across the globe.
Introducing The Association of Governance, Risk & Compliance (AGRC).
This change in our name marks a new era for our Association, one that highlights our rapid international growth and adds necessary attention to the rising role of Risk Management in the operations of financial institutions and professional services firms everywhere. A role that regulators are increasingly noticing and even enforcing.
And itโs not just a change in name.
As our loyal member, you are part of this journey of growth and development. You are entitled to everything you have enjoyed before but also now so much more.
Your professional qualifications and certificates, now bearing the name of AGRC.
Your access to thought leadership and unique learning opportunities.
Your discounts to AGRC events, services, products, and more.
The myriad of opportunities to build your brand, market your services, and propel your business forward.
That feeling of belonging to an Association that builds bridges and supports some of your greatest professional passions.
More importantly, as part of this rebranding effort, you will have access to our new AGRC Memberโs Portal.
One where you can build your own professional profile, advertise career opportunities, participate in working groups and events, contribute to AGRCโs knowledge base, exchange ideas with likeminded professionals, accumulate CPD credits, and plenty more.
Similarly, AGRC will be rolling out later this year new Certificates focusing on Corporate Governance, Risk Management, and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG), rounding out a comprehensive collection of qualifications that perfectly complement the roles, responsibilities, and interests of todayโs GRC professional.
Whether you are part of the Board, a Senior Manager, or a crucial member of the Governance, Risk and Compliance functions, you are the driving force behind GRC in your organisation.
Take pride in your role as a skilled, knowledgeable, and responsible GRC professional whoโs propelling your organisation forward, helping it set and fulfil ambitious goals, tackle those difficult days ahead, and carry out business in a transparent and ethical manner.
We hope you embark on this exciting new journey for our Association, one that hopes to contribute its grain of sand to the GRC world and champion the amazing work being carried out by each and every one of you in this growingly important and promising field.
