  • DUE DILIGENCE LESSONS for the ASSET MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY 1 the Implosion of Wirecard Is One of the Most Stunning Corporate Failures in Recent Years
    WIRECARD: DUE DILIGENCE LESSONS FOR THE ASSET MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY 1 The implosion of Wirecard is one of the most stunning corporate failures in recent years. The high flying company was the prestigious symbol of corporate Germany’s pivot to fintech and a darling of the EU technology industry. In 2018 the firm joined the 30 companies in Germany’s DAX stock index with a capitalization of €25bn, with the fintech payments processing company symbolically replacing “old economy” Commerzbank. Now Wirecard has the reputation of being the only member of the DAX ever to go into liquidation. Castle Hall has identified four themes from the Wirecard debacle which are relevant to the asset management industry. As investors conduct due diligence, be it on hedge funds, private equity, real estate, infrastructure or long only funds, Wirecard provides valuable insights which can be applied to our own industry. Perhaps the most obvious lesson of Wirecard is the one investors should always remember – if it looks too good to be true…it probably is. 1 AUDIT FAILURE The starting point has to be the increasing likelihood that Wirecard may be one of the most stunning audit failures in financial history. Castle Hall’s senior team includes qualified accountants and ex-auditors. We certainly recognize that an audit is not infallible and that a testing and sample based review of transactions may fail to uncover a sophisticated fraud, especially when there is collusion between the company and third parties / counterparties. An audit is also subject to materiality – so small transactions may fall within the cracks, even if they are fraudulent.

  • Question for Written Answer E-004048/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Eva Kaili (S&D)
    Question for written answer E-004048/2020 to the Commission Rule 138 Eva Kaili (S&D) Subject: The impact of the Wirecard scandal on major banks, investors, auditors and supervisors in the EU Wirecard AG has numerous subsidiaries, including the BaFin-licensed Wirecard Bank and Wirecard Card Solutions Ltd, which is licensed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). In September 2018, Wirecard replaced Commerzbank in the DAX 30 index, making it an automatic investment for pension funds around the world. The Financial Times has on numerous occasions publicly accused Wirecard of accounting manipulation. In spite of a higher awareness of the risk of deliberate deception, auditors and national supervisors failed to prevent the Wirecard scandal. Moreover, Wirecard was able to place a EUR 500 million bond on the Euro MTF, the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, and received funding from a consortium of banks, supervised by the European Central Bank and, hence, exposed to the consequences of the insolvency proceedings. BaFin claims that it was only responsible for regulating Wirecard Bank. The FCA only claims responsibility for regulating Wirecard Card Solutions. Significant concerns have been raised about the fact that Wirecard was integral to many startups and has cooperated with major banks to integrate Alipay. 1. Which regulator is responsible for the activities of Wirecard? 2. Does the Commission agree that it would be more appropriate for a single financial markets supervisor to regulate a company in situations like this? 3. What specific audit standards and procedures should be introduced for complex group structures with regulated and unregulated entities, within and/or outside the EU, offering digitalised financial services? PE655.361v01-00.

    Wirecard: When Fintech goes rogue A report by the All-Party Group on Challenger Banks and Building Societies This report was funded with the support of the Penrith Building Society, OakNorth Bank, Aldermore, Nottingham Building Society, Saffron Building Society and the Building Societies Association. It was researched and drafted by Barndoor Strategy on behalf of the APPG. The views expressed are those of the APPG. This is not an official publication of the House of Commons or the House of Lords. It has not been approved by either House or its committees. All-Party Parliamentary Groups are informal groups of Members of both Houses with a common interest in particular issues. The views expressed in this report are those of the group. Foreword The Wirecard inquiry was a departure from some of the past topics the APPG had pursued. However, given the extraordinary nature of the events in Germany, whose effect was soon felt in the UK we thought we should take a look.
