antares RiMIS® IKS Software
IKS als integrales Modul unserer GRC-Plattform antares RiMIS® versetzt Sie in die Lage, Prozessrisiken durch die strukturierte Zuordnung und Überwachung von adäquaten Kontrollen zu minimieren. Die Third line of Defence bewertet – ebenfalls workflow-gestützt – die Angemessenheit und Wirksamkeit von Kontrollen in einer zusätzlichen Struktur.
Erfassen Sie im IKS-Modul ihre komplette Prozess-Landschaft, identifizieren Sie Prozess-Risiken und begegnen Sie diesen Risiken mit geeigneten Kontrollen. Verschiedene Frequenzen stehen zur Verfügung, um z. B. Steuer-, Jahres- oder Quartalsabschluss, Logistik- oder Finanzprozesse mittels Kontrollen zu verwalten. Verantwortlichkeiten, Beschreibungen der Kontrollen und Kontroll-Überwachung können flexibel angepasst werden. Die Dokumentationspflicht über historische Kontroll-Durchführung, Änderungen der Prozesse etc. bleibt stehts gewahrt.
Warum Sie als Geschäftsführer oder Aufsichtsrat jetzt eine IKS-Software einführen sollten
Mit einer IKS-Software erfüllen Sie nicht nur gesetzliche Pflichten (§ 91 AktG, DSGVO, SOX), sondern sichern sich auch in Steuerfragen ab: Nach aktueller Rechtsprechung wird bei Vorhandensein eines funktionierenden IKS im Falle von Fehlern in der Steuererklärung nicht von Vorsatz, sondern nur von Fahrlässigkeit ausgegangen*. Mit einer IKS-Software reduzieren Sie das Risiko persönlicher Haftung und hoher Strafen deutlich. Gleichzeitig schaffen Sie Transparenz für Prüfer und Behörden, sparen Zeit durch automatisierte Kontrollen und einem systematischen Überwachungsprozess und erhalten klare Entscheidungsgrundlagen.
*): Nach dem Anwendungserlass des Bundesministeriums der Finanzen zu § 153 AO (2016) und der aktuellen Rechtsprechung (u.a. Bundesfinanzgericht 2025) kann ein dokumentiertes internes Kontrollsystem (IKS) als Indiz dafür dienen, dass bei Fehlern in der Steuererklärung nicht von Vorsatz oder Leichtfertigkeit, sondern nur von einfacher Fahrlässigkeit ausgegangen wird. Dies reduziert das Risiko persönlicher Haftung und hoher Strafen für Geschäftsführer und Aufsichtsrat deutlich, sofern ein angemessenes Steuer-IKS implementiert und nachweisbar betrieben wird
Functions of the IKS software
Our ICS software enables the systematic definition and assignment of controls. These can be specifically assigned to the relevant business processes, while the processes can in turn be assigned to the respective legal units. This creates a clear structure that comprehensibly maps responsibilities and control areas and serves as the basis for an effective internal control system.
Assigning responsibilities clearly regulates who is responsible for carrying out and who is responsible for monitoring individual controls. Our ICS software supports the clear assignment of roles and creates transparency across all levels - an important prerequisite for reliable control processes and audit-proof documentation.
A central monitoring cockpit enables ongoing monitoring of the control status. Thanks to automatic notifications and meaningful evaluations, those responsible always have an overview of open, completed or overdue checks. This allows deviations to be identified at an early stage and targeted measures to be taken.
The integrated evaluation matrix can be used to assess the effectiveness and traceability of controls. Analyses and status reports help to uncover weaknesses in the control system and identify optimization potential. This not only supports quality assurance, but also reliably fulfills regulatory requirements.

FAQ
The controls are managed as master data in the ICS software and can be "distributed" flexibly within the company as required.
Yes. In addition to various possibilities of structural assignment, there is also an assignment to the process. The structure can be built up multi-dimensionally.
Yes, controls can be selectively weakened or strengthened in the internal control system.
Yes, the control type can be used to define mandatory, target and optional controls.
Yes, reminders in the ICS can be sent both directly in the application and by e-mail.
Yes, there is a two-way allocation option (control to risk and risk to control).
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.
