Product information


... for companies in all business sectors wanting to use their management system to recognize risks well in advance and to not only ensure continuity of their business but also to pro-actively and consciously seize upon opportunities to ensure positive business development.

Basics and objectives
The German KonTraG (Law on business control and transparency) which came into effect in May 1998, forms the statutory framework to commit companies to implement a professional risk management system (RMS). Another, future requirement for implementing an RMS result from the development of Basel II. Aside from these regulatory requirements, an RMS serves as control instrument for the top management. Instead of only reacting, it allows them to act at an early stage and, by doing so, to ensure business continuity.

What is a risk management system?
An RMS is a systematic, integrated approach to
  • Identify
  • Analyze
  • Appraise
  • Consolidate / aggregate
  • Control
  • Act upon and
  • Monitor

the essential risks inherent in an organization, continuously and across all areas.

The results gained allow the top management to develop a forward-looking risk strategy for the entire organization which includes all levels and all employees, across all areas.


What can be achieved?
A well-functioning RMS supports the recognition and use of potential, ensures company success in the long run and documents the stable company situation on the inside as well as on the outside. It

  • Ensures long-time customer and supplier relations
  • Supports the basis for decision on soliciting new outside capital
  • Ensures the availability of resources
  • Serves as evidence of solvency
  • Guarantees safe jobs
  • Serves as expertise when recruiting new employees

What does DQS do?
Being a qualified, independent assessor with many years of experience in the area of management systems, DQS will

  • Determine requirements jointly with the customer
  • Make use of existing management systems and management tools
  • appraise the management system
  • Compile an appraisal profile
  • Compile a qualified report

  • Product / service portfolio
