At the beginning of December, we reported on the result of a BaFin special audit (link).
In this context, BaFin has today published its formal communication (link). (in German only, which is why we’ve attached a convenience translation)
As expected, this publication corresponds to what we ourselves already actively communicated on 3 December.
The audit itself has been completed. We are currently in the process of designing and implementing initial measures to remedy the deficiencies that resulted from the audit.
We find it extremely helpful that BaFin has appointed a special representative for this purpose in order to ensure close monitoring of the projects from the beginning and not to wait for the usual follow-up audit in 12-24 months. As BaFin states: “Depending on the progress in remedying the deficiencies, measures may be adjusted after review by BaFin in consultation with the special representative.”
The expectation of a non-material fine from a misdemeanor procedure in 2020/2021 - which is also mentioned in the communication - we had already proactively communicated in August 2022 as part of our half-year financial report.
