Does your risk early warning system meet all legal requirements?

Due to the revision of the PS 340 auditing standard, new regulations on the design of risk early warning systems have been in force since May 2020, which have turned the risk management processes of the companies affected upside down.For all financial years from January 1, 2021, listedcompanies must take into account the following changes, among others, when designing their risk early warning systems:

  • Companies are obliged to carry out a comprehensive risk aggregation, including determining their risk-bearing capacity
  • All risk management measures must be an integral part of a centralized risk early warning system
  • Transparent documentation of all measures is a basic prerequisite for internal monitoring and external auditing by the auditors
And as if that wasn't enough, you also have the Requirements for your internal control system (ICS) in mind - whereby the IDW PS 980 auditing standard applies here.

As the person responsible for implementing risk management measures, you are truly not to be envied here, because: In order to ensure that all auditor requirements are met, it is often necessary to Comprehensive preparations necessary.
  • You must check the effectiveness of all measures
  • Manually evaluate countless reports and documentation
  • always with the concern in the back of your mind that you may have overlooked something important
All in all, the entire process is labor-intensive and time-consuming for you and, due to the high level of complexity, you will repeatedly stumble across legal pitfalls and unanswered questions during implementation.

  • They constantly have to work overtime to cope with the high workload
  • Other important tasks fall by the wayside
Incidentally, you are not alone in this. Many companies of your size and the people responsible for compliance and risk management have the same problems.

Key innovations at a glance

1) The determination of the F (RTF) by the Board of Management is particularly emphasized. The RBC is the "maximum amount of risk that the company can bear without endangering its continued existence. Only after determining the risk-bearing capacity and comparing it with the overall risk position can it be assessed whether there is a threat to the company as a going concern. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the loss of the operating license may also jeopardize the company's continued existence.

2) In the course of the Group-wide risk assessment, particular attention must be paid to risks which, when viewed in isolation, do not pose a threat to the company as a going concern, but which, when aggregated with other risks, pose a threat to the company as a going concern. The assessment of whether and to what extent a risk poses a threat to the company as a going concern must be carried out from the perspective of the parent company. Subsidiaries, commercial agencies and shareholdings are to be included in the risk identification process. The identified risks are aggregated in a holistic overall risk inventory . The currently accepted method for risk aggregation is the Monte Carlo simulation. Here, dependencies between opportunities and risks(correlations) must be taken into account.

3) Appropriate measures are to be taken at an early stage to counteract developments that could jeopardize the continued existence of the Company as a going concern. The term "early" also includes the immediate forwarding of urgent risks (ad hoc risks).

4) The risk assessment shall be documented in such a comprehensive manner that the gross value, the effect of the measures and the resulting net value of the risk are presented accordingly. In addition, so-called black swan risks, i.e. risks with a very high impact and a very low probability of occurrence, should also be considered.

5) Furthermore, sufficient resources should be made available for the implementation of measures. Measures include the early identification, assessment, control and monitoring of developments that pose a threat to the company as a going concern. Risk management (risk avoidance, risk reduction, risk sharing or risk transfer) is emphasized here.

FAQs - frequently asked questions about IDW PS 340 & PS 980

A risk early warning system is a tool for the early detection of potential dangers that could impair the success of a company or project.

It continuously analyzes relevant data in order to identify risks in good time and enable preventative measures to be taken. In this way, it helps to minimize negative consequences before they occur.

The new regulation of the IDW PS 340 auditing standard tightens the requirements for early risk identification and management as well as the determination of risk-bearing capacity.

Many listed companies urgently need to adapt their risk management processes in order to avoid compliance violations and minimize financial risks.

Compliance with PS 340 is also crucial in order to prepare the company for potential risks, strengthen the confidence of investors and customers and thus remain successful in the long term.

Compliance with auditing standard PS 340 is mandatory for public limited companies.

It ensures that large, influential companies set up and monitor an early risk detection system in order to identify and manage potential risks in good time.

This serves to protect investors and contributes to the stability of the financial market, which ultimately benefits the general public.

The redesign of IDW PS 340 defines the basic elements of a risk early warning system more precisely. There is also a stronger focus on the areas of risk-bearing capacity and risk aggregation. The documentation requirements have also been comprehensively expanded.

These changes are designed to raise the effectiveness and transparency of risk management systems to a higher level.

The costs depend on your chosen configuration and the degree of customization.
