About Us

Inspiration and creation of a comprehensive Evaluation approach

Based on the long-standing experience of FMS Fraud & Compliance Management Services GmbH, The company, which specializes, among other things, in the professional detection of irregularities in companies, developed a vision to make the corporate world a bit more ethical and sustainably successful. This is to be achieved by establishing an organizational culture that promotes ethical behavior and prevents violations.

In this context, the idea arose to make the existing organizational culture measurable and to derive targeted management impulses. This approach is reflected in our interdisciplinary and practice-oriented concept, in which we assign specific evaluation criteria to the various cultural areas of an organization in order to analyze their effectiveness for the organization as a whole.

In close collaboration with our exclusive partners Bernhard Kressin of Kressin.consulting and lawyer Jörg Bielefeld of the law firm Addleshaw Goddard (Germany) LLP, the innovative and practice-oriented valuation approach was developed which puts people in the foreground as the central key factor.
