Every company faces risks: financial, legal, operational or technological. Risk management does not mean eliminating all risks, but knowing, monitoring and controlling them. This prevents surprises and strengthens your resilience. Assurance – in the form of audits or checks – offers certainty to you, your partners and external stakeholders. It creates transparency and increases trust in your organisation. Prevention is always cheaper than repair.
Situations you recognize, answers that help you move forward.
Tax and accounting risks often arise from incomplete or incorrect recording of transactions, misinterpretation of regulations or missing deadlines. Therefore, ensure accurate and timely accounting, supported by reliable software.
In addition, keep a close eye on changes in legislation and regulations, especially regarding VAT, corporation tax and social security contributions. Regular internal and external audits are crucial for detecting and correcting errors in good time. Work with experienced accountants and tax specialists who think proactively. This will help you avoid unpleasant surprises during an audit or tax inspection and maintain the trust of your stakeholders.
Internal controls limit the risk of errors, fraud and losses within your company. Start with clear authorisations and separation of tasks: where possible, the person who orders, checks and pays should not be the same person. Document processes and ensure regular follow-up, for example through checklists or reports.
In addition, periodic audits and spot checks are essential to evaluate the effectiveness of controls. Use IT tools for automatic alerts in case of deviations. Good internal controls create a safe framework within which employees can work efficiently and responsibly.
Safety and ergonomics start with a risk analysis in the workplace. What hazards or stressful situations are there? Involve your employees in this process: they know the practicalities best. Based on the analysis, take targeted measures such as ergonomic workstations, adapted lighting, safety instructions and protective equipment.
In addition, a culture of prevention is essential. Regular training, clear procedures and the promotion of open communication raise awareness and prevent accidents. Preventive medical supervision and ergonomic evaluations also contribute to a healthy, safe working environment where your team can perform at its best.
Risk management starts with identification: which risks could threaten the continuity of your business? Think of cyberattacks, supply chain disruptions, staff shortages or reputational damage. Conduct a risk analysis that not only highlights potential threats but also ranks them according to their likelihood and impact.
The next step is to define concrete mitigation measures. What can you avoid, reduce or transfer through insurance or contracts? And what actions will you take if something does go wrong? A crisis plan and clearly assigned responsibilities are essential. A strong risk management plan is not a one-off document, but a living tool that evolves alongside your business.
