What is a business unit, its role and how to manage it?

Managing (Business Unit)

Note: (Business Unit) appears in brackets to indicate that the label is configurable.

The Ansarada GRC default term (Business Unit) describes an organisation’s divisions or departments.

You can change that term (The ‘General’ section settings - item 6) to your preferred description if your organisation uses a different term (e.g. Department).

Ansarada GRC uses the (Business Unit) to identify groupings within a business for all Risks, Compliance Processes, Key Measures, (Events), (Control Inventory) and Contracts records.

These grouping can then be used for filtering in Reports and charts.

Accessing the (Business Unit) Page

Administrators can access the ‘(Business Unit)’ Page via the Main Menu:

  1. From the Main Menu select Maintenance | (Business Unit)

  2. The (Business Unit) page is displayed.
