GRC Playbook Limited
GRC Playbook Limited is a technology-based software development and consulting company. We specialize in providing innovative compliance and business development tools to corporations for in-house use and to accountancy, advisory, and consulting firms looking to expand their GRC consulting services.
Our self-assessment and business development tool enables our subscribers to utilize a complete suite of Playbooks (RCMs and SAQs) to satisfy their in-house compliance mandates as well as enabling accounting, advisory, and consulting firms to provide expanded services to their current and prospective clients. Our offering is both a software program and a complimentary library of subject matter Playbooks. This growing library of Playbooks – pre-populated control, compliance, and profitability self-assessment modules - is designed to automate and enhance the assessment and documentation process with minimal training, cost, and setup time. The contents of the Playbooks are derived from authoritative source materials so that subscribers can get the job done without the need to do specialist research on the topics covered by our modules. The authoritative guidance is hyperlinked directly in the Playbooks.
GRC Playbook is available for download as an on-premise tool. Our software can also be configured to work on a network or in the cloud. The application is integrated into Microsoft Office, giving users the full power and functionality of MS Excel. When installed, and running a valid subscription license, our software provides a unique ribbon on the users' Excel toolbar providing the full functionality of our program.
About the Playbooks
GRC Playbook leverages the familiar Excel interface and is easy to use and quick to learn. It runs on top of Microsoft Excel, which most of us use every single day. GRC Playbook has been designed with efficiency and ease of use at its core.
Our growing library of “Playbooks” – pre-populated Excel-based control, compliance, and profitability assessment templates are designed to automate and enhance the assessment and documentation process with minimal training, cost, and setup time.
GRC Playbook is designed to provide you with the flexible option to perform a scaled assessment of the subject area to suit your particular objective in performing the assessment:
1) a simple ControlSCAN (Gap Analysis against good practice),
2) a more in-depth DiagnosticREVIEW, or
3) a full-scale Risk and Control Matrix (RCM) Assessment (based on authoritative or regulatory framework requirements e.g., COSO 2013 and other international standards)
Some of the Subject Areas Included in Your Playbook Subscription
We ease the pain of your regulatory challenges by helping you to avoid:
Costly content preparation and validation, and the time-consuming development of presentation-ready reports and deliverables
Reputational damage from failed regulatory inspections
