Compliance and Risk Consulting

Companies take risks in order to create values from opportunities. Influenced by constantly changing complex "dynamic" corporate conditions, a suitable security standard must be found and continually adjusted. An excessively high security standard can hinder the realization of competitive opportunities and may itself become a dangerous risk. Therefore, the security level in a company should be adjustable to the necessary security requirements in an appropriately flexible manner so that the exposure to risks can always be kept within an acceptable range.

Business processes and IT systems form the basis for both risk-weighted corporate action and the pertaining security processes.

Financial and accounting-related corporate data are communicated to internal and external users. The degree of detail and swift availability of this data is becoming increasingly important. Due to changes in the law and revised accounting standards on the one hand, and due to technological challenges on the other hand, companies find themselves in a very complex environment.

Consequently, the requirements placed on supervisory bodies and executive management as the corporate helmsmen are increasing continuously, as has become apparent in recent years in the "Corporate Governance Acts" (German Act on Control and Transparency in Business (KonTraG), German Transparency and Disclosure Act (TransPuG), German Act on Corporate Integrity and Modernization of the Right of Avoidance, (UMAG), et al.)
