Governance, risk and compliance

Navigating challenges with confidence 

Botswana’s business and public sectors operate in a growing, increasingly regulated environment where governance, risk management, compliance, and ethical conduct are essential for sustainable growth. 

Regulators, investors, and stakeholders demand stronger transparency, robust internal controls, and credible reporting across financial, operational, and ESG dimensions. 

Organisations across Botswana face macro challenges such as rapid technological change, data privacy requirements, cyber risk, supply-chain disruption, and the need to optimise costs while maintaining resilience. 

At PwC Botswana, governance, risk and compliance (GRC) is not a standalone checkbox, it is the connective tissue that enables strategy, performance, and long-term value creation. We offer comprehensive governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) services designed to help your business thrive.
