Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Our Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) practice partners with organizations as they continue to deal with the dynamic governance, risk, and compliance landscape and navigate today’s complex business environment. We seek to prepare business leaders and their teams to identify and manage risks, strengthen governance across levels, drive end-to-end compliance, design and test internal controls, anticipate and assess any disruptions, and help build business resilience. We help to deploy platforms aimed at digitization, automation, and AI-enablement of an organization’s GRC functions.
Our Services
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a comprehensive and systematic process, applied in a strategic fashion across the enterprise. It is designed to identify potential events that may affect the entity and measure and manage risks against its most critical objectives. ERM enables management to effectively deal with uncertainty and associated risks and opportunities. When deployed correctly, this process enhances leaders’ ability to protect and build value.
Organizational Resilience (OR) refers to an organization’s ability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and adapt to various disruptions or changes in its internal and external environment.
It involves the capacity to withstand and recover from adverse situations, while maintaining core business functions and adapting to emerging challenges.
Resilient organizations are better equipped to navigate uncertainties, crises, and disruptions, ensuring continuity and sustainability. Implementing OR enables an organization to foster long-term sustainability.
Traditionally, internal audit has been viewed as a compliance-focused function, responsible for ensuring controls are effective, policies are followed, and risks are managed. However, its role is evolving — in the face of rapid digital transformation, increasing regulatory complexity, and shifting business risks, internal audit is now emerging as a strategic enabler.
At Uniqus, we help organizations redefine Internal Audit as a forward-looking enabler of trust and resilience. With global perspective and local insight, we enable Internal Audit functions to move from hindsight to foresight, creating lasting value and sustainable impact. Guided by the Institute of Internal Auditors (IIA) Global Internal Audit Standards (GIAS) and powered by data analytics, AI, and deep domain expertise, our multidisciplinary teams deliver agile, technology-driven assurance across compliance, sustainability, financial controls, operations, IT audits, capital projects, and special investigations.
Clear, effective policies and procedures (financial, operational, governance, etc.) are critical for smooth operation of any organization. They ensure consistency, mitigate risks, and help maintain compliance with industry standards and regulation. We specialize in developing and refining policies and procedures tailored to an organization’s unique needs. Our goal is to help you establish a strong operational framework that promotes efficiency, accountability, and a culture of compliance.
Compliance management ensures that organizations operate within legal, regulatory, and ethical boundaries while mitigating compliance risks. A strong compliance framework fosters a culture of integrity and accountability. We support clients in developing comprehensive compliance programs, conducting compliance risk assessments, documenting compliance compendium/ obligation registers and implementing monitoring mechanisms to ensure adherence to evolving regulatory landscapes.
Internal Controls are processes effected by an entity’s board of directors, management, and other personnel. They are designed to provide reasonable assurance around the achievement of objectives relating to operations, reporting and compliance. We assist our clients in designing best-in-class internal controls, and management testing of the controls. Our expertise spans diverse frameworks including Sarbanes-Oxley in the USA, ICOFR requirements in the Middle East and Internal Financial Controls in India.
Risk UniVerse is our cutting-edge GRC platform designed to streamline an organization’s compliance requirements through centralized data, automated workflows, and interactive dashboards — delivering enhanced visibility and audit readiness across the enterprise.
Our platform leverages the power of AI through its Controls AI features. Built-in AI-driven Control Testing automation moves organizations from manual, time-consuming assurance processes to smart, automated, and scalable testing. Complementing this, our AI-powered Document Management and Testing Intelligence engine converts transcripts, call recordings, into structured Process narratives & flow diagrams and Risk Control Matrices (RCMs).
