Risikoüberwachung

Risikoüberwachung, also known as risk monitoring, is a continuous process within an organization that involves identifying, assessing, and tracking potential risks. It is a critical component of effective risk management, ensuring that identified risks are actively managed and that new risks are detected as they emerge. The primary goal of risikoüberwachung is to provide timely and accurate information to decision-makers, enabling them to take appropriate actions to mitigate or exploit risks.

The process typically involves several key activities. Firstly, it requires the establishment of clear risk indicators and key risk indicators (KRIs) that signal changes in the risk landscape. These indicators can be quantitative, such as financial metrics or operational performance data, or qualitative, such as audit findings or employee feedback. Secondly, data related to these indicators must be collected and analyzed regularly. This analysis helps to determine if the level of risk has changed, if mitigation strategies are effective, or if new risks require attention.

Thirdly, the findings from the analysis are reported to relevant stakeholders, including management and the board of directors. This reporting is crucial for transparency and accountability. Finally, based on the monitoring results, organizations may need to adjust their risk management strategies, implement new controls, or revise existing ones. This iterative nature of risikoüberwachung ensures that risk management remains a dynamic and adaptive process, aligned with the organization's evolving objectives and external environment.
