Compliance, data protection & money laundering prevention

We advise you and your company on the topics of Compliance, data protection & money laundering prevention.

Every company must ensure compliance with legal regulations and internal company requirements. The term “compliance” is used to describe this legally compliant and at the same time practised corporate organization that actively prevents the company from incurring fines, penalties, sanctions or loss of reputation.

The three legal areas of tax law, data protection law and money laundering are of particular importance here. Due to new legal standards and changes in the focus of administrative action, the legal situation has developed in such a way that compliance measures are increasingly becoming the focus of audits by administrative authorities - even for smaller companies.

It is therefore becoming increasingly important for companies and company management to document which measures have been established by a company to comply with legal regulations and how compliance is monitored.

We support you with our services and advise you, for example, on setting up a suitable compliance management system (CMS) or on supplementary documentation for existing company processes (internal control system ICS).

Tax compliance:

A Tax Compliance Management System (Tax CMS) serves the complete and timely fulfillment of tax obligations. This includes, among other things, basic process descriptions as a prerequisite for proper accounting (e.g. for document handling and cash management).

Data protection compliance:

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been in force since May 25, 2018. This brings with it considerable innovations that significantly expand the range of obligations for management. In particular, the EU regulation expressly stipulates that data protection compliance measures must be taken and adequately documented - otherwise there is a risk of severe fines.

Money laundering compliance:

Companies and service providers are also becoming increasingly involved in the government's fight against money laundering. They are obliged to set up a system to identify and assess the risks of money laundering and, if necessary, to appoint a money laundering officer.
