Compliance, internal control system (ICS) and internal auditing are closely linked to responsible corporate governance. This is the right strategy, because after all it is necessary to understand the company as a whole. When a company wants to put this strategy into practice, it is necessary to breathe life into the individual building blocks.

Internal Auditing constitutes an independent and objective control function within a company. It is in charge of auditing and advisory tasks. Internal Auditing reviews internal business processes to validate their legality, expediency and efficiency. The aim and objective is to assess business processes and identify potential areas where improvements in effectiveness and efficiency are possible.
Internal Auditing acts as an independent authority within a company. It monitors whether all processes are being performed properly and the company's internal rules are being adhered to. Monitoring enables preventative measures to be taken to identify risks and strengthen the internal control system. Internal Auditing furthermore boosts transparency and can support management in decision-making.
The objective of internal auditing is to examine business processes from an objective perspective and identify opportunities for optimisation. Internal Auditing is obligated by law to take into account the interests of all stakeholders. Transparent internal auditing can strengthen stakeholders' trust and confidence in the company.
In the internal auditing process, risks are identified and assessed in order to then take steps to strengthen the internal control system. Above and beyond this, Internal Auditing examines the quality of output and processes, as well as compliance with all legal regulations and internal guidelines. Including all areas in its scope of evaluation allows business processes to be made more efficient and a company's resources deployed more effectively.
