Audit of Compliance and Risk Management Systems

Whether it's corruption prevention, sanction lists, or risk management – the audit of compliance and risk management systems shows how well companies are positioned. The focus is on structures, processes, and the lived corporate culture. The goal is to identify risks early and build trust in the organization.

Audit of Risk Management Systems

In an increasingly complex and disruptive world, risks must be identified, assessed, and managed early. We lead the way for you and audit existing systems according to IDW PS 981 for appropriateness and effectiveness. The aim of the audit is to assess the extent to which the company can actually identify, evaluate, manage, and monitor various risks through its RMS. For companies that are systematizing or expanding their measures for the first time, an appropriateness audit – i.e., a project-accompanying audit of the risk management system by the auditor – can be useful.

Our focus areas

  • Audit of the RMS according to IDW PS 981 by assessing the defined objectives for the identification, assessment, management, and monitoring of risks
  • Project-accompanying audit of the RMS (IDW PS 981, Sec. 24) for reviewing the appropriateness of the RMS during its creation
