Data transparency and information are becoming increasingly important and are a key component in achieving corporate goals. At the same time, the increase in legal and regulatory requirements as well as dynamic technological and innovation developments are challenging organisations and companies more than ever.
IT is a key success factor for compliance with all requirements. It ensures the integrity, confidentiality and availability of information and the underlying IT systems.
Digital Process Compliance's auditing and consulting services make the use of information technologies more manageable, efficient and effective and can significantly reduce risks.
The technological auditing and consulting approach helps to ensure high quality in projects, minimise costs and generate the associated added value.
With customised digital process compliance solutions, our experts examine and advise on the growing regulatory requirements, the management and control of IT, including potential savings, ERP system transformations and the appropriate design of IT-supported processes.
The entire IT compliance and information security is taken into account - starting with the strategy and the corresponding guidelines, through the resulting processes and organisational structures, to the employees and technical IT components. This ensures that not only individual components, but also their interaction as a whole, function in compliance with regulatory requirements.
We examine how digital processes are structured, which systems are involved and where compliance-relevant risks arise. This involves authorisations, interfaces, data flows, process deviations, control points and documentation requirements.
Digital compliance consulting starts with reliable data. We analyse whether information is complete, consistent and verifiable. Particular attention is paid to data origin, changeability and the traceability of automated process steps, as digitalisation is creating new requirements for data quality and transparency in many companies.
Digital processes require effective controls. We support companies in evaluating existing control mechanisms and show where automation, monitoring or additional evidence can increase control security. This allows process deviations to be recorded in a more targeted manner and causes to be better understood.
Compliance digital covers various regulatory fields, such as tax documentation obligations, electronic invoicing processes, IT controls or requirements for audit-proof storage. We categorise these requirements in your process landscape and support companies with their practical implementation.
Digital process compliance really comes into its own when it is integrated into governance, risk management and internal control systems. We help to organise responsibilities, reporting channels and verification structures in such a way that management can make well-founded decisions. This provides companies with a better basis for assessing the impact of digitalisation on processes, controls and compliance.
Digital testing approaches allow large volumes of data to be analysed more efficiently. We identify patterns, irregularities, process deviations and control gaps without losing sight of the technical process logic and risk adequacy.
Digital Compliance KPMG means: We combine audit security with a clear understanding of operational processes. Our work does not end with a risk overview. We derive specific fields of action, prioritise measures and support companies in their implementation.
This provides management with a reliable basis for decision-making. They recognise which digital processes are stable, where there are process deviations or a need for improvement and which measures are relevant in the short term or structurally. You can rely on this.

Digital compliance encompasses the compliant, traceable and auditable design of digital processes, data flows and controls in companies. In the audit context, the focus is particularly on the resilience of evidence and dealing with process deviations.
Digital compliance consulting is useful when companies need to digitalise processes, convert systems, reassess control structures or transfer regulatory requirements to digital workflows.
KPMG Clara is a cloud-based audit platform that supports digital audit approaches. It helps to process data, controls and potential process deviations in a structured, transparent and technology-based manner.
Digital process compliance affects financial processes, IT controls, data quality, authorisations, interfaces, documentation, electronic invoicing processes and internal control systems, among other things. As a result of digitalisation, these areas are becoming increasingly interconnected in companies.
