Quality, Process and Risk Management

Top Quality - the WTS mission statement describes our quality requirements both as a leading tax network and in our selection of global network partners. We have introduced a global quality management system and team which have four key objectives:

Increasing client satisfaction
Increasing employee satisfaction
Risk minimization / Compliance
Increasing efficiency / Profitability

Secure and efficient processes are continuously developed and remain the focus of the Quality, Process and Risk Management at WTS.

Why Quality Management?

Our quality management system helps us learn from mistakes - only when we identify improvement potentials at an early stage, can we realize them. For this purpose, every global network partner is committed to the minimum standards defined below.

No consultancy without mandate contract

One representative for each client

(First) Confirmation within 24 hours

Reliable deadline controls

Unified presentation / structure of the work results

Four-eyes principle and clear signature rules

Clear rules for the documentation and archiving of files

Adequate training and development opportunities for employees

Uniform exterior appearance

Careful selection and monitoring of local network partners

With the minimum standards identified above, our Quality, Process and Risk Management team are enabled to do the following:

Identify potential improvements through a structured process;
Cooperate with our network partner employees on these; and
Develop new and innovative solutions.

This invariably leads to a culture that perceives errors and opportunities very early on and constructively handles them. Thus, WTS advertently becomes a learning organization constantly evolving with innovative top quality solutions to processes and procedures. This has a positive effect on our network partner employees as well as their relationship with their clients.
