      Making business risks and risk types transparent

      Regulatory requirements affect different risk types depending on the company. These can include compliance risks, operational risks, financial risks, reputational risks or strategic business risks. KPMG helps you to clearly structure these risk types and assess their relevance for your business model.

      This creates a reliable basis for management decisions. After all, regulatory challenges can only be managed effectively if business risks are clearly described, responsibilities are defined and measures are prioritised in a comprehensible manner.

      Governance and responsibilities

      Regulation only remains effective if responsibilities are clearly defined. We work with you to check whether roles, escalation channels, guidelines and decision-making bodies are clearly defined. Transparency is particularly important in the management context to ensure that regulatory risks and the resulting business risks are recognised and addressed in good time.

      On this basis, KPMG develops target images for governance structures. This includes responsibility models, guideline architectures, control frameworks and reporting mechanisms that suit your organisation.

      Designing resilient processes and controls

      Regulatory requirements take effect in operational processes. We support you in translating regulations into concrete processes, control actions and verification documentation. In doing so, we ensure that controls not only exist formally, but also function in day-to-day business.

      Our particular focus is on effectiveness and auditability. Management and control functions need verifiable evidence to be able to demonstrate regulatory requirements to internal and external stakeholders. KPMG helps to design processes and controls in such a way that they match the respective risk types.

      Addressing compliance vulnerabilities and weaknesses

      When regulatory weaknesses or compliance vulnerabilities arise, a structured approach is key. We support you in analysing the causes, assessing the effects and deriving suitable remediation measures. In doing so, we keep an eye on both short-term stabilisation and sustainable improvement.

      Our advice can also take a preventative approach. Through risk analyses, control tests and reviews, KPMG identifies weaknesses before they become major regulatory challenges. This allows business risks to be reduced and existing regulations to be complied with more reliably.

      Improving management reporting and decision-making

      Regulatory requirements need clear management information. We support you in setting up reporting structures that clearly present the relevant risk types, business risks, progress of measures and decision-making requirements. The aim is management reporting that not only informs, but also enables action.

      This includes suitable key figures, status logics, escalation mechanisms and target group-appropriate reporting formats. Good reporting creates transparency and commitment, especially for complex regulatory programmes.

      Regulatory advisory as part of good corporate governance

      Regulations and regulatory requirements are a permanent component of corporate management. Those who anticipate them at an early stage reduce business risks and strengthen their own organisation. At the same time, there is a growing expectation that companies manage regulatory issues in a comprehensible, transparent and efficient manner.

      KPMG is happy to support you in translating regulatory requirements into sustainable structures. We work with foresight, certainty and precision, with a clear focus on feasibility, risk orientation and impact.
