Advantages of the internal control system ICS: keeping an eye on risks
Control workflow
Our ICS software, as part of a comprehensive internal control system, offers a systematic workflow of controls as well as the presentation of the control activities to be carried out on a filterable and searchable overview screen. The monitoring system thus ensures completeness, transparency and clarity. The tool allows the definition of control owners, whereby different owners can be defined for each control for each organization, legal unit and process.
Effectiveness
Controls are reviewed at regular intervals for their effectiveness, traceability and fulfilment of objectives. The periodic review provides information on whether the controls are suitable to have a positive effect on the control objectives and to counteract the deposited risk or whether measures are necessary to adjust a control. In short, as soon as control objectives are not achieved, the periodic reviews help to realign control measures.
Integration
The internal control system is available as an integral part of our GRC software solution antares RiMIS®. Due to the web capability, any number of employees access the system decentrally, participate permanently in the project and obtain information independently. The basis for setting up a more comprehensive risk management system with an internal control system is the COSO ERM framework (Enterprise Risk Management).
Monitoring
The standard functional scope of the ICS software already includes evaluations of the status of the controls within the processes, aggregated views from a process, legal and organizational perspective with drill-down. Control measures can also be sorted according to their effectiveness.
Reporting
With the convenient report portfolio generator of the control system, the user has the possibility to create independent report portfolios as well as to integrate the ICS area into the risk management report of our software solution for opportunity and risk management antares RiMIS®.
Documentation
The execution of control activities is automatically communicated to the control manager. The approval process within the ICS software can be specified individually, and the dual control principle can be designed with multiple levels. In this way, the control objectives are kept in view.

An internal control system (ICS) is used to systematically identify and assess risks within a company. Through the consistent monitoring of business processes and the targeted implementation of controls, potential risks can be identified at an early stage and appropriate countermeasures can be taken. In this way, the internal control system contributes significantly to risk minimization and adherence to compliance requirements.
As a rule, implementation takes around 3-4 weeks, depending on the specific adjustments and the size of your company.
Yes, our internal control system is designed for integration into complex corporate structures and existing IT infrastructures. Our team will be happy to help you connect all systems smoothly.
An internal control system (ICS) consists of several levels that ensure that company processes run efficiently, correctly and in compliance with the law. The development of an internal control system usually includes the planning and implementation of ICS compliance measures, which are regularly reviewed and adjusted. In practice, an internal control system in risk management ensures that risks are identified at an early stage and minimized through watertight control processes. With the right ICS software, the entire process can be automated to ensure even better control and security.
A concrete example of the use of an internal control system (ICS) in practice is the automation of accounting processes in a medium-sized company. The ICS manager uses an ICS checklist provided by the software to regularly check the accuracy of financial reports and ensure that all payments and postings comply with internal guidelines. With the ICS software, immediate alerts can be generated in real time in the event of errors or irregularities, enabling a quick response and preventing potential compliance breaches. This not only saves time, but also ensures that all relevant processes meet the defined standards.
The costs vary depending on the scope and degree of customization and the number of users. As a rule, the ICS software is purchased as part of our risk management software and thus enables comprehensive risk and compliance management. We can determine your requirements and give you an initial estimate of the costs in a non-binding consultation.
Every company is different. That's why antares RiMIS® ICS software was specially developed to integrate seamlessly into existing systems - no matter how complex they are.
With flexible interfaces, individually configurable templates and an experienced support team, we guarantee a quick and easy implementation. So you don't need to worry about additional complexity, long implementation times or system interruptions.
