Risk management

Carefully managing potential risks to the Company is a key component of our daily work. Volkswagen Group’s risk management system is oriented toward identifying, assessing, communicating and managing risks at an early stage. This system is reviewed on an ongoing basis and adjusted in line with new conditions as necessary. A detailed description of the risk management system and our accounting-related internal control system can be found in the Risk Report.

The Supervisory Board has established an Audit Committee, which monitors the financial accounting and reporting processes and the effectiveness of the internal control system, risk management, the internal audit system and compliance, in particular. It also supervises the audit of financial statements, particularly the independence of the auditors, the additional services provided by the auditors, the audit engagement, the definition of the areas of emphasis for the audit and the agreed fee.
