A compliance management system (CMS) that is recognised and accepted within the company and effectively supports the company's business processes as a business enabler. A CMS that covers all relevant legal areas from anti-corruption to data protection, foreign trade, tax and product compliance. A CMS that fulfils the expectations of the market, suppliers, young people and customers. A CMS that fulfils legal requirements and significantly reduces liability risks. A system that is demonstrably appropriate and effective and can withstand an audit by authorities or auditors at any time.
Is compliance actually practised or is it just lip service?
But is it possible to find out whether compliance is actually being practised or is just lip service?
- What are the necessary measures, processes and instruments?
- How must management concepts and training be designed so that compliance also reaches the employee level and the right incentives are set for behaviour with integrity?
- Can progress towards improving the compliance culture be measured?
- How can ethical aspects be integrated into a CMS alongside legal requirements?
- And: Where does your company actually stand in comparison to other companies?
We provide reliable answers to these and many other questions.
Our range of services
Our range of services extends from current individual topics such as the implementation of targeted compliance risk assessments or the implementation of a whistleblower system to the design, implementation and holistic optimisation of a CMS along its individual elements. We keep our clients up to date and integrate new legal requirements into existing systems by informing them about regulatory requirements and new legislation, such as the Corporate Sanctions Act or the new guidelines of the US Department of Justice (DOJ). With customised, tailor-made solutions, we prepare you for the future and give you the freedom you need to concentrate on the essentials - your core business.
