Design from scratch
Messer faced the challenge of developing a tool to support its global risk management process. The Risk Management System (RMS), together with the Internal Control System (ICS) and the Compliance Management System (CMS), forms an integral part of Messer’s corporate governance framework.
As part of a global harmonization initiative, Messer implemented Corporater ERM in the first half of 2023. The RMS was implemented in alignment with the ISO 31000:2018 standard, while taking into account existing business and process structures. A high degree of flexibility in tool design and a multi-tier approval process were key requirements. In addition, the solution needed to support risk portfolio evaluation using Monte Carlo simulation to meet the requirements of the auditing standard IDW PS 340, particularly with regard to risk-bearing capacity.
