Our approach – the GRC Universe

We act on the basis of the House of GRC, which is based on the guidelines of the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer in Deutschland e.V. (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany). Essential components of appropriate governance structures are risk and compliance management as well as the internal control system (ICS), which also includes the internal audit system. Together, these interlinked systems form the GRC universe. We also offer you corporate governance and forensic services.

Risk Management System (RMS)

Managing risks is one of the core tasks of corporate management and is therefore essential for sustainable corporate development. At the same time, risk management is one of the central requirements that owners, investors and lenders as well as employees place on the company and its management. A functioning risk management system (RMS) is one of the most important tasks of good corporate governance.

Internal Control System (ICS)

The internal control system (ICS) is an elementary component of the GRC structures. Properly structured and implemented, the ICS is essential for an efficiently functioning company. It gives shape and defined rules to the flow of information, cooperation and monitoring activities within the corporate organization. This promotes effective and efficient business processes. We guide you purposefully on your way to a functioning ICS.

Compliance Management System (CMS)

A compliance management system is an essential component of the GRC universe and includes all compliance measures, structures and processes established in the company. Due to their obligation to legality, companies must organize their internal processes in such a way that violations of laws and other regulations are avoided and regulatory requirements are met. Our CMS offers you not only the consideration of legal and tax aspects, but also business management aspects of your company.

Basic elements of the CMS:

  • Setting compliance goals
  • Risk analysis & risk measures
  • Organization of the Compliance Officer
  • Communication & documentation
  • Monitoring
