Deloitte’s Taking Control platform is a 'one-stop-shop' for governance, controls and risk solutions, providing multidisciplinary expertise and a common platform of experience and knowledge sharing. As an opinion leader in the area of governance, our Taking Control team anticipates and addresses new trends on governance and risk.


Directors' responsibilities are more and more embedded in law and regulation, thus triggering legal liability. Today’s laws for example require company directors to describe and explain the company’s risks in its annual report. Being well informed requires a good understanding of technical and legal aspects in very different areas. Complying with the relevant corporate governance codes and regulations is a key responsibility of the board of directors and management. In addition, they are also responsible for maintaining a good system of internal controls.

Taking today’s reality into account, ask yourself the following questions:

	Does management comprehensively identify, measure and adequately respond to the identified risks?
	Does the company have a dashboard keeping track of the quality of important controls?
	Is appropriate access available to technical expertise on IFRS, GAAP, tax, legal matters, environmental matters, financial instruments, internal controls, business process and IT systems and employee benefits, in order to support decisions made by the company?
	Have necessary measures been taken to mitigate risk on legal exposures? Is liability risk adequately insured?

These are some of the questions Deloitte’s Taking Control Platform responds to. Get in contact with us for more information!
