Regulatory changes, such as sustainability issues or stakeholder requirements, present companies with major challenges. With the help of a holistic approach in the area of governance, risk and compliance, risks can be identified as early as possible and suitable processes and controls can be derived. Adherence to internal and external requirements, and therefore compliance, can thus be guaranteed within the company.
In the interests of good corporate governance with a holistic risk strategy, the individual governance areas consisting of the internal control system, risk management and compliance must be closely interlinked. The internal control system focuses on risks at the operational or process level of the company. In addition, risk and compliance management systems counter risks through risk-oriented programmes and standardized procedures. Internal Audit, on the other hand, acts as an independent monitoring body and initiator.
