In the first part of our showcase with the Amor Group, we demonstrated how we were able to clear the backlog of audits through structured audit planning, strict adherence to deadlines and clearly defined responsibilities.
The second part now focuses on a factor that played a key role in the successful completion of the project: the close collaboration between the Amor Group and PLANARIS.
Open communication, binding coordination and short decision-making processes have made it possible to identify audit issues at an early stage, provide the relevant documentation in a targeted manner and implement the agreed audit steps efficiently.
Christoph Ehlert and Holger Grötzner oversaw the final audits in close consultation with the relevant contacts at the Amor Group. This enabled the audits to be completed efficiently.
Over the course of the project, a trusting and professional working relationship developed between the teams at PLANARIS and Amor – with a shared goal: to reduce the audit backlog in a sustainable manner.
🎥 In the second Reel, Tobias Passberger, CFO of the AMOR Group, talks about the collaboration, the importance of good coordination and why working together was crucial to the project’s success.
We would like to thank Tobias Passberger and the whole team at the Amor Group for their trust and for working with us as partners.

✨ Our Apprentice Day 2026 ✨
Spending time together, building team spirit and simply taking a break from the day-to-day grind – that’s exactly what our trainee day was all about. 💙
Our day began with breakfast together, before we went for a walk to enjoy the sunshine. Next on the programme was a real highlight: the chocolate workshop at Viba Nougatwelt – including a tasting, of course. 🍫😋
After a bit of time to relax, we rounded off the day in a cosy atmosphere with some pizza at the law firm. 🍕
Thank you to everyone who came along and made this day so special. We’re already looking forward to the next Trainee Day! 🚀

The Amor Group, too, faced the challenge of catching up on outstanding statutory audits and re-establishing reliable processes.
Together with the team at the Amor Group, we have systematically addressed the backlog of audits, clearly defined responsibilities and restructured the audit process.
Our auditors, Christoph Ehlert and Holger Grötzner, supported the project through active management, clear communication and close coordination with all those involved.
The result:
✅ Backlog of exams successfully cleared
✅ Final exams completed
✅ The foundations have been laid for more reliable future processes
„PLANARIS understood our situation and, with an agile, digital and solution-oriented approach, met us exactly where we were.“
