Abstract

The Wirecard scandal has evolved into the largest case of accounting fraud in German post-war history. Dustin Voss examines the role of BaFin, the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority. He argues that with Germany’s transition from a bank-based to a capital-market based financial system, regulators failed to beef up BaFin’s powers to meet the challenges of 21st century internationalised finance.
