Enterprise-Wide Intelligent Risk Insights for IDW PS 340 n.F. Compliance
Get an Intelligent, Connected View of Enterprise Risk
Build a governed risk universe connecting strategic objectives, entities, processes, risks, controls, events, indicators, and accountable owners. AI analyzes internal and external information to identify emerging risks, potential causes and consequences, and missing relationships. Gain a current view of individual risks and how they could combine, rather than relying only on periodic workshops and disconnected registers.
Enable Consistent and Defensible Risk Decisions With Risk Agents
Apply consistent qualitative and quantitative methodologies while reflecting the context of each business unit. Risk Assessment Agents bring prior results, controls, indicators, events, issues, and treatment history into the workflow. Review the context before determining inherent exposure, control effectiveness, residual risk, and treatment, improving consistency without replacing accountable professional judgment.
Anticipate Risk and Act Before Business Impact
Understand when connected risks could combine to threaten strategic objectives or continued operations. Aggregate exposure across entities, processes, categories, and time horizons using configurable models. Scenario analysis and Monte Carlo simulations evaluate dependencies, uncertainty, correlation assumptions, and potential loss ranges, giving management a clearer view of combined exposure than isolated risk ratings provide.
Stay Ahead of Risk With Intelligent Insights
Translate risk appetite into measurable limits and track exposure against approved boundaries. Monitor KRIs, KCIs, KPIs, losses, control performance, and issue trends through connected dashboards. AI identifies anomalies, deteriorating conditions, and indicators approaching tolerance levels, while alerts route potential breaches to accountable owners before exposure becomes a material threat.
Prioritize Material Risks for Faster, Accountable Action
Connect each risk response to controls, actions, owners, evidence, approvals, and deadlines. AI recommends relevant controls and treatments, identifies related or duplicate issues, and groups findings that share a root cause or remediation plan. Escalations and effectiveness reviews help teams move from risk identification to verified exposure reduction.
Transform Risk Data Into Current, Board-Ready Risk Intelligence
Give the leadership team a real-time view of material risks, combined exposure, appetite utilization, control effectiveness, and remediation. Connected dashboards, scenarios, heat maps, and risk trajectories reveal where your attention is required. AI-generated narratives explain what changed, why it matters, and what action is underway, with every conclusion connected to the underlying risk data.

IDW PS 340 n.F. is a German auditing standard, issued by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW), for evaluating risk early-warning systems under Section 317(4) of the German Commercial Code (HGB). It has been mandatory for listed companies for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2021. It emphasizes systematic risk identification, assessment, aggregation, monitoring, response, and reporting, including combinations of risks that may threaten the organization's continued existence under Section 91(2) of the German Stock Corporation Act (AktG).
MetricStream’s Enterprise Risk Management, along with control assessment, risk aggregation, quantification, metrics, issue management, and reporting, supports a structured risk early-warning system. Organizations gain a current view of individual and combined risks — net of existing controls and treatment — that could threaten their ability to continue as a going concern, and can continuously reconcile that exposure against their defined risk-bearing capacity, with full documentation to support the auditor's review.
MetricStream aggregates qualitative scores and quantified exposure across organizational, process, risk, and scenario dimensions. Monte Carlo simulation supports the analysis of combined risk and uncertainty.
Risk Agents analyze connected internal and external signals, identify trends, recommend emerging risks, flag missing relationships, and support assessment and treatment.
IDW PS 340 n.F. is a German audit standard focused on early-warning systems and going-concern risk. While ISO 31000 and COSO are broader frameworks, IDW PS 340 n.F. specifically requires systematic risk identification, aggregation, and monitoring for regulatory compliance.
