      Non-financial information is becoming increasingly important - for investors, supervisory authorities and the public. But how can you ensure that ESG data, for example, is accurate, complete and robust?

      Our short study "Non-financial ICS - status and impact" shows how companies can use a non-financial internal control system to safeguard their non-financial reporting, fulfil regulatory requirements and increase transparency and efficiency at the same time.

      Findings from the current nIKS survey

      • 20 per cent of the companies surveyed have already set up an nIKS.
      • 32 per cent are in the implementation phase and 38 per cent are planning to set one up.
      • The biggest challenges are limited resources and a lack of expertise.
      • Regulation remains the main driver - but process quality and governance efficiency are also becoming increasingly relevant.
