Featured success story

KPMG's team worked with a global chemical distributor whose manual processes were prone to inconsistencies and duplication and required considerable time and effort to maintain process documentation as well as integrate risk and control information across the organization. KPMG provided project management support for the GRC tool selection project and assisted with the definition of business requirements and vendor due diligence for GRC tool selection. The company selected a leading maker of compliance and enterprise risk management software as the preferred vendor and KPMG continued to provide support during the implementation by providing subject matter input.
