Governance, Risk and Compliance
A company-wide directive to achieve results that meet internal guidelines and processes.
This is our approach to achieve our objectives, address uncertainty and act with integrity
Governance
Using a combination of information and hierarchical management control structures, we ensure that critical management instructions reach the team timely, accurately and sufficiently complete. The control mechanism that we provide ensures that directions, instructions and strategies are performed systematically and effectively by the respective teams.
Risk Management
Our management identifies, analyses, and, where necessary, responds appropriately to risks that might adversely affect realization of the GivingFridays’ business objectives. Our response to risks typically depends on their perceived gravity, and involves controlling, avoiding, quantifying their impact, accepting or transferring them to a third party.
Compliance
Compliance is achieved through management processes which identify the applicable requirements, assess the state of compliance, risks and potential costs of non-compliance against the projected expenses to achieve compliance, and hence prioritize, fund and initiate any corrective actions deemed necessary.
Safety and security are assured with our international PCI-DSS compliant payment gateway.
