New York, NY (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- Recognizing that experience, education, and training serve as the foundation for professional contributions in the realm of governance, risk management, and compliance, The GRC Group (www.grcg.com/grandfathering-application) today announced a "grandfathering" program to award certifications in GRC, SOX, and IT-GRC.

With its premiere training programs and coveted certifications, The GRC Group arrived at the decision to offer its grandfathering provision -- which is in effect until December 31, 2008 -- only after considerable thought.

At the same time, we are requiring a substantial amount of information and documentation to ensure that only those who are truly qualified receive certifications."
