If the problems are there solution has to be there to make life easier for all, in many companies, IT solutions have become part of the problem statement rather than part of the solution landscape.

Following are the key challenges in complying to Governance

• Different functions have different assessment of risk
• Inconsistent or different interpretation of policy in different parts of the company
• Different countries demand compliance to their laws (differences in expectation) for eg Lobbying is legal in US but perceived as bribe in India
• Many functions/subsidiaries of companies are autonomous units in overall hierarchy
