Kurzfassung Institutionelle Korruption ist ein Konzept, das entwickelt wurde, um schlecht funktionierende Organisationen aus einer neuen Perspektive zu analysieren. Organisationen können von ihrem Zweck abweichen und ihr öffentliches Vertrauen verlieren, obwohl es keine Anzeichen für individuelle Korruption gibt. Institutionelle Korruption tritt auf, wenn ein rechtlicher, sogar derzeit ethischer Einfluss die Wirksamkeit einer Organisation schwächt und ihr öffentliches Vertrauen schädigt. Letztendlich kann diese Art von Korruption, die Teil der alltäglichen Verfahren einer Institution wird, für die Gesellschaft schädlicher als individuelle Korruption sein. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Erkenntnisse über institutionelle Korruption im europäischen Finanzsektor zu gewinnen. Die Europäische Zentralbank, die Europäische Bankenaufsichtsbehörde, die Deutsche Bank und der Prüfungssektor werden im Rahmen der institutionellen Korruption analysiert. Systemische und strategische Einflüsse, die diese Institutionen betreffen, werden identifiziert, um zu untersuchen, wie sie die Effektivität und das Vertrauen der Institutionen verringern. Darüber hinaus werden Lösungen zur Organisationsgestaltung vorgeschlagen. Schlüsselwörter: institutionelle Korruption, legale Korruption, Drehtüreffekt, Lobbying, Finanzen, Europa, Europäische Zentralbank, Europäische Bankenaufsichtsbehörde, Wirtschaftsprüfung, Deutsche Bank Abstract Institutional corruption is a concept that is developed to analyse malfunctioning organisations from a new perspective. Organisations may divert from their purpose and lose their public trust although there is no sign of individual corruption. Institutional corruption occurs when a legal, even currently ethical influence weakens an organisation’s effectiveness and harms its public trust. Eventually, this type of corruption that becomes a part of quotidian proceedings of an institution can be more detrimental for the society than individual corruption. This work aims to gather insights about institutional corruption in the European finance sector. European Central Bank, European Banking Authority, Deutsche Bank, and the auditing sector will be analysed within the scope of institutional corruption. Systemic and strategic influences affecting these institutions will be identified for examining how they decrease the institutions’ effectiveness and trust. Moreover, solutions concerning organisational design will be suggested.

  • SUERF Policy Note, No 11
    SUERF Policy Note Issue No 11, March 2017 Completing the architecture of the Euro By Lorenzo Bini Smaghiˡ Abstract The paper shows that the lack of a complete institutional framework in the Eurozone is one of the reasons for the disappointing performance over the last few years. This in turn fuels dissatisfaction with the European institutions, because they are not delivering what people expect, leading them to think that we may need less Europe, rather than more Europe. We need to address this catch-22, by further working on a detailed design of a more complete institutional framework for the European Union and by pushing political authorities to be more courageous in implementing reforms. The publication of the book "Architects of the A complete union, with all the characteristics of a Euro" by Kenneth Dyson and Ivo Maes is a good political union could not be implemented, as we opportunity to take stock of the current state of saw with the Werner Plan. The Werner Plan was the architecture of the Euro, and what is still certainly broader in scope, and probably more missing for its smooth and effective functioning consistent in terms of complementarity between on a lasting basis. The Euro needs to be completed the various components, but it could not be in at least two key dimensions. implemented because it was too encompassing. Some would say it was unrealistic. The first concerns the economic and monetary union. The second concerns the environment in A good architect must take reality into account, which such a union is supposed to operate, what such as the force of gravity that he/she can we would call the political union.
