Risk management is becoming an increasingly important part of our Company procedures and, therefore, will receive focus in the coming years. As a result of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, companies must analyze risks, determine methods to manage those risks, and certify the effectiveness of their risk management and control systems by the end of 2006. The basis for this is the analysis of risks and the way in which these can be managed.
Risks can arise from contractual relationships with our clients.
Therefore, in the links next to this text column an overview of possible types of contract follows. In addition, a summary of the risks associated with ARCADIS' business activities is provided. Finally, the manner in which ARCADIS manages those risks is explained. Other risks may apply in addition to those mentioned.
