On the other hand, TUI AG has developed central risk management system which “comprises the
independently organized reporting system for the early identification of risks threatening the existence of the
Company (German Act on Control and Transparency in Business, KonTraG), initiated, coordinated and
monitored by the KonTraG working group as an independent body... Risk management is supported by the
Group-wide audit departments, which examine risk reporting in accordance with KonTraG, both regularly and
case-by-case basis” (TUI AG, 2010a:121). Internal Group Audit as well as separate Group Auditor audits the
operability, adequacy and efficiency of the KonTraG system. Group Controlling, except its planning and
controlling processes is responsible for risk reporting to the risk management system, as well as Decentralised
Business Areas who deal with operative risk management and also report to the Risk management system (TUI
AG, 2010a). Less rigid structures are likely to react more promptly; and more precise and defined relations of
reporting together with responsibilities create good basis for secure business relations.
