Question 1 of 3

How are your compliance functions staffed?

Question 2 of 3

What does your latest audit report look like?

Question 3 of 3

How up to date are your registers and evidence (outsourcing, DORA, KYC)?

Solid foundation

Your set-up looks resilient.

Keep registers and evidence under control by handing routine processes to an operations service – even as new requirements such as DORA and AMLR arrive.

Action needed

Close individual gaps now.

Bottlenecks and findings are typical triggers for supervisory findings. Take over individual officer functions in a targeted way and free up your team.

Elevated risk

Immediate action is needed.

Vacant functions and open findings increase the risk of objections – and the liability exposure of management.

Who is responsible for what – including for outsourced functions.

Management

Steers and decides

Ultimate responsibility, risk appetite and approvals remain with you.

Compliance

Monitors

Independent control of the second line of defence – taken over by S+P as an officer function.

S+P

Relieves operationally

Deadline-driven processes in day-to-day business, handled according to your specifications.

Where does your risk lie?

Pick a topic – see what is at stake for management and how S+P solves it.

The risk for management

The management body bears overall responsibility for ICT risk management. Missing registers, tests or evidence become a supervisory issue – and a personal issue for management.

Art. 5 DORA
The S+P solution

S+P takes over the ICT risk control function and maintains DORA information registers and evidence as a service.

The risk for management

Management bears overall responsibility for a proper business organisation. Gaps in the compliance function lead to findings in the audit report.

§ 25a KWG (German Banking Act) · MaRisk AT 3
The S+P solution

Compliance Officer under MaRisk, including risk analysis, monitoring plan, controls and reporting.

The risk for management

Depending on the type of obliged entity, a money laundering reporting officer must be appointed and adequately resourced. Breaches can be punished as administrative offences with fines.

§ 7 GwG · § 56 GwG (German Anti-Money Laundering Act)
The S+P solution

Independent MLRO from risk analysis to reporting, including FIU filings – complemented by KYC and screening as an operations service.

Outsource MLRO
The risk for management

Outsourcing shifts the task, not the responsibility. Missing oversight, incomplete outsourcing files or exit strategies are typical audit findings.

MaRisk AT 9 · Art. 28 ff. DORA
The S+P solution

Central outsourcing management: compliant control, monitoring and documentation of all outsourcing arrangements, including due diligence.

View Outsourcing Management
The risk for management

Internal Audit must audit independently. An audit plan that does not cover new topics such as DORA or AMLR is open to challenge.

MaRisk AT 4.4.3 · BT 2
The S+P solution

Independent reviews of governance, risk management and processes with practical recommendations.

Outsource Internal Audit

The risk for management

Inadequate oversight: those who cannot show that supervision is properly organised can be held personally liable – as managing director, as board member or for breach of supervisory duty.

§ 43 GmbHG · § 93 AktG · § 130 OWiG (German law)
