Corporate business activity means that risk is unavoidable. But these risks must nevertheless be clear and manageable for the company’s directors. This is why a future-orientated, effective risk management system is such an important and valuable component of the instruments available to executive management for safeguarding the existence of the company, the invested capital and the existing jobs.

In line with this thinking, a corresponding risk management system was introduced in 2006. The system takes a comprehensive view of the internal and external risk areas, evaluates them and compiles them together in an information system. The system’s maintenance and updating is conducted with the assistance of practice-related software. The system provides support in strategic decisions, structural changes and in the operative business.

The risk management system is tested by leading internationally active auditing firms in accordance with IDW PS 340 and acknowledged as an appropriate system as defined by the German Corporate Sector Supervision and Transparency Act (KonTraG).
