Focal points and tasks in auditing

IT & Data Analytics

We work with forward-looking technologies such as artificial intelligence, automation and cloud services. To support our day-to-day work, we rely on a high level of standardisation of testing processes and use agile process models and data analytics.

Actuarial

We review and evaluate the actuarial calculations, models and assumptions, including those for risk management, pricing and reserving. This gives us a comprehensive insight into all mathematical tasks within the Talanx Group.

Operational / Insurance

We look at all aspects of the life cycle of an insurance policy. Starting with the development and sale of a product, through assessment of the insured risk and contract management to claims settlement, we examine all the associated processes.

Financial

In addition to the traditional topics of accounting and corporate planning and management, we also examine investment management and qualitative risk management in accordance with Solvency II. We also focus on compliance, legal matters and data protection.

That's how we work

Due to the wide range of tasks, flexible and interdisciplinary collaboration between all professional fields is of great importance. In a progressive working atmosphere with hybrid and agile working models, tasks are tackled in an appreciative teamwork environment in order to find suitable audit approaches and methods. This applies in particular to new topics such as sustainability, artificial intelligence and regulatory changes.
A wide range of training and further education opportunities are offered to meet current and future challenges, as well as support with profession-specific certifications (e.g. CIA, CISA or actuary (DAV)).
