An effective RMS creates transparency regarding a company's material risks and helps to identify, assess, and specifically manage them at an early stage. This enables management and committees to make more informed decisions, clearly assign responsibilities, and prioritize measures in a transparent manner.
An audit according to IDW PS 981 provides an independent and verifiable assessment of your RMS. It demonstrates whether risks are systematically identified, assessed, managed, and monitored, and whether the structures and processes established for this purpose are appropriately designed. This provides management and committees with a reliable basis for decision-making, the prioritization of measures, and the further development of risk management. Furthermore, responsibilities, reporting channels, and potential for improvement are documented transparently.
Appropriateness focuses on whether the RMS is designed to suit the company's objectives, business model, and risk profile. The decisive factor is whether the intended processes and structures provide an appropriate framework for managing risks.
The effectiveness audit examines whether the RMS was not only appropriately designed during the defined audit period but also actually implemented and applied. Within the agreed audit scope, suitable evidence is used to determine whether risks are systematically identified, assessed, managed, and monitored, whether responsibilities are being fulfilled, and whether the established reporting and escalation channels function in practice.
