Compliance and Corporate Governance

Most companies regard compliance purely as a duty. Basel II, SOX etc. lead to expenditure and costs which bring no visible added value for many companies. Indeed, compliance projects, whose sole aim is to avoid breaching the current regulations, leave the company with little more than legal security and not inconsiderable costs for the achievement of compliance. In the worst case, the satisfied requirements of the law will then be superseded in the following year by a new law and the whole game will start all over again.

Yet companies can also make use of compliance projects to take a first step towards integrated corporate governance or multi-compliance.

The TopEase suite provides the company with support in the development and implementation of an integrated corporate governance strategy. In concrete terms, this means that the company strategy, corporate processes and IT organization and architecture are documented with transparency throughout and the required control measures, test elements and responsibilities are assigned.

The company thereby establishes the basis not only for compliance with current legal requirements, but also for ensuring a flexible and sustainable integration of future regulations into the corporate governance strategy with a minimum of effort. But TopEase is not just useful in helping to achieve compliance; it also facilitates the continuous process of furnishing evidence. With sets of regulations, for example, it is possible to verify whether a test has been performed on time or whether full documentary evidence has been filed.

Generate your compliance reports automatically from the TopEase model

TopEase also supports the enterprise in the generation of compliance reports. Instead of investing a lot of effort in compiling compliance reports manually, you can use TopEase to generate your compliance documentation directly at the push of a button, e.g. as an MS-Word document, containing all the data you need.
