Risk control and minimisation of liability in a tax control framework Digital solutions for safe compliance in businesses

Tax compliance is more than just a legal obligation – it protects a company and its management from unexpected risks and fines, or even reputational damage. Innovative tools and queries as part of a thoroughly designed TCF can help companies stay on the safe side in the future. In many situations, risks such as bogus self-employment and incentives can be quickly and accurately identified using innovative tools and queries and directly allocated to risk categories to minimize – if not fully mitigate, negative outcomes.

The relevance of an HR compliance management system HR risk management that is systematic and legally watertight

Legislation and case law have massively increased the importance of having a proper and effective HR compliance management system (HR CMS). If the rules are not complied with, directors, board members and the supervisory board can be directly liable. This liability risk can be avoided by using the right instruments to prevent such infractions. An HR compliance management system (CMS) can help here. We’ll design a customised HR CMS for you and give you assistance with implementing it, or we can audit your existing HR CMS. You’ll gain assurance, be able to identify risks and comply with your statutory duties.
