Consulting

Active monitoring work is expected of supervisory bodies today. In their role, they are expected to supervise and advise management with foresight. The procurement and processing of information relevant to supervision play a crucial role in this context. To assess specific issues that the supervisory board cannot evaluate conclusively, or only with restrictions given the capacities at its disposal, it is not only advisable, but sometimes even necessary to call in an external, independent expert. External experts in the sense of §109 of the AktG possess the expertise required for this purpose. However, the supervisory board is ultimately responsible for organising the supervision processes. Modern supervisory board work makes neutral support in the sense of ‘good practice’ seem sensible. Against this background, BDO Board Support has developed an integrated approach which interlinks the topics of training, process-oriented consultancy and supervisory board assistance in a modular way.
