Risk Analysis
The larger and riskier the company, the more extensive the compliance requirements. Conversely, the smaller the size of the company and its risks, the lower the compliance requirements. This also affects the cost intensity of Risk Advisory & Compliance.
The implementation of a sound risk analysis is indispensable for the establishment of an appropriate and effective Compliance Management System (CMS). It is the basis for defining the required compliance culture and the compliance goals to be achieved with it in order to be able to adequately counter compliance risks and to develop an adequate and effective compliance Programme with the corresponding compliance system.
It is essential to define the compliance communication channels within the company's corporate governance that ensure the effectiveness of a CMS. Compliance management systems must then be continuously monitored and, if necessary, improved.
