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.
