Who Watches the Watchers?


Welcome to the latest edition to the Compliance Podcast Network, The Wirecard Saga. In this series, I am joined by Mikhail Reider-Gordon, Managing Director of Institutional Ethics & Integrity at Affiliated Monitors.  In this episode, we take a deep dive into the conflicts of interest by German regulators who were investing in Wirecard while (allegedly) regulating it, EY clams up, whistleblowers and investigating crimes or not; all in the Who Watches the Watchers edition.
Some of the highlights include:

  • Current events;
  • Head of APAS invests in Wirecard and the Investigative Committee is Astonished;
  • What is a Conflict of Interest after all and does hindsight affords clear vision?
  • EY is certainly economical with the truth;
  • Germany’s two-tier system, drowning in risk pools and regulators don’t read;
  • Whistleblowers galore (but not enough for the 12 Days of Christmas);
  • BaFin-detecting crime is not our remit; and
  • What were all the missed opportunities.
