Audits and digitization
Every company is challenged to reconcile existing or new compliance requirements with technological developments. Information technology is increasingly critical for digital business models with new services and products. At the same time, areas of tension arise between traditional processes and agile organizational forms.
Neutral audits provide decision-making bodies with an independent view of the status of their services, processes and projects with concrete suggestions for improvement. At the same time, audit methods benefit from digitization because the personnel and time required are reduced. With digitization, audits are self-financing and quickly compensate for the initial outlay.
