Welcome to TheComplianceAuthority.com
Formerly known as IT Compliance Magazine, we're changing our name and expanding our focus. The change in name represents the growth and maturity of the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) market and the growing interest of our readers in expanding their knowledge of GRC and its emerging best practices. IT compliance continues to be a critical part of GRC, and our articles will continue to reflect best practices in that field. But IT compliance is only one aspect of the overall GRC practice area, and the change of our magazine’s focus is intended to broaden and enhance contributions made every day in this critical field.
We grew substantially in 2007, and as we move forward in 2008 we expect our readership to grow even further and our articles to cover diverse and interesting aspects of GRC. To reflect this change in focus, our Web site has been completely revamped. We thank our readers for helping shape our publication and for your continued support and interest in this vital industry.
We invite each of you to drop us an e-mail to let us know how we can make this site your main source for the latest insights and perspectives on GRC. Whether your story ideas come from inside the boardroom, conversations at a conference or an idea you’d like to hear leading practitioners discuss, we invite you to contact us at editor@thecomplianceauthority.com.
Our stories come from experts with diverse backgrounds. In the weeks ahead, we'll deal with GRC challenges in the securities area, the IT GRC area and GRC’s impact on global organizations. In keeping with our new focus, our first article - The Role and Responsibility of a Chief Compliance Officer - is by Guy Talarico, CEO of Alaric Compliance Services. Alaric specializes in providing compliance officers for the registered and unregistered fund industry. Guy’s article explains the duties of a chief compliance officer,which apply across the board no matter what industry you work in.
