The requirements on entrepreneurs and decision-makers – whether legal, financial or in IT – have risen considerably in recent years.

There’s not only a lot of them, but they are also very disparate and complex, which makes getting a grip of all the individual components very difficult. It should be assumed that the regulatory requirements, e.g. in compliance and risk management and in other business and commercial processes will be further expanded. Management’s observing of its legal duties of care will therefore take on a higher level of importance.

The challenges to you

This poses a number of questions:

  • Does your organisation have an effective system of internal control including internal auditing to monitor this?
  • Is an effective integrated risk and compliance management system in place?
  • Is the governance structure state of the art and are the structures for the company’s further development designed adequately?
  • Does sustainability reporting fulfil the regulatory requirements and stakeholders’ needs?
  • Does internal reporting and external financial reporting appropriately take account of all stakeholders’ information needs? Is it necessary to move to international financial reporting standards?
  • Are the performance of the IT environment and data quality sufficient to grow and fulfil the higher reporting requirements?

It can be seen particularly among mid-markets firms that many are still not set up in an adequately professional way and are therefore exposed to risks that can have considerable financial or legal consequences. You rightly expect an all-round consideration of the challenges and problems you face and comprehensive assistance from a central contact as far as possible.
