Case Study: Köln Bonn Airport strengthens internal audit efficiency with TeamMate+ by Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions

Köln Bonn Airport - Customer Case Study

Köln Bonn Airport's internal audit department, led by Alexander Hilgert, faced the challenge of operating with outdated, manual processes using generic tools like Excel and SharePoint. The small team of four auditors struggled to provide consistent, risk-based assurance for the major airport's complex operations and lacked control over data security. To modernize and bring their function in line with global standards, they sought a dedicated internal audit software solution, selecting Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions to implement TeamMate+ Audit.

Wolters Kluwer ELM Solutions provided a cloud-based implementation of TeamMate+ Audit, which offered a secure, automated system for creating risk-based audit plans, managing workflows, and facilitating real-time follow-up on recommendations. The solution enabled remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic and provided senior management and the board with powerful dashboards and reporting for better risk oversight. As a result, the audit team gained efficiency, improved the timeliness and quality of their reporting, and elevated their role to become a digital trailblazer within the airport organization.
