Glossary
The Impero Glossary is a collection of terms, concepts and legislation in the Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC). Explore the Glossary to find out more about how Impero can help you simplify your risk management & internal controls.
UK Corporate Governance Code
The UK Corporate Governance Code is a cornerstone of corporate accountability and transparency for companies listed on the London Stock Exchange. Issued by the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), the Code sets out best practices for board leadership, risk oversight, audit processes, and stakeholder engagement.
Tax Control Framework (TCF) - Netherlands
A Tax Control Framework (TCF) is a structured approach designed to manage and control tax-related processes and risks. In Dutch practice, the terms “Tax Assurance,” “Risico-matrix” (Risk Matrix), and “Tax Monitoring” are often used interchangeably or in close connection with TCF, as they cover overlapping concepts and tools.
Tax Control Framework (TCF) - Denmark
In Denmark, the implementation of a Tax Control Framework (TCF) is increasingly seen as essential for companies aiming to manage tax risks effectively, stay compliant with evolving regulations, and meet rising demands for transparency from the Danish Tax Authorities (Skattestyrelsen).
Tax Compliance Management System (TCMS)
A Tax Compliance Management System (TCMS) is an internal control framework designed to ensure that an organization complies with tax laws and regulations.
Internal Control System
Internal controls are the policies, procedures, and activities that help organizations protect assets, reduce risk, and ensure operations run effectively and efficiently.
Risk Management
Risk management is the structured process of identifying, analyzing, and addressing potential threats or opportunities that could affect an organization’s ability to achieve its goals.
Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC)
Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) is a structured approach that organizations use to align their operations with business objectives, manage uncertainties, and adhere to laws and regulations. By integrating these three components, GRC helps organizations operate ethically, mitigate risks, and meet compliance requirements efficiently.
Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX)
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) is a landmark U.S. federal law designed to protect investors by improving the accuracy and reliability of corporate disclosures and strengthening internal controls over financial reporting.
Risk Control Matrix (RCM)
A risk control matrix (RCM) is a structured tool that helps organizations connect known risks to the internal controls established to mitigate them. The risk control matrix is especially valuable in regulated industries or organizations with complex processes, as it serves as a practical reference point for internal teams, auditors, and external stakeholders.
