Episode 4: Non-financial misconduct and whistleblowing

In this podcast episode we discuss how German financial services regulation and supervision addresses non-financial misconduct.  We examine the grounds on which a senior individual might be removed from role for non-financial misconduct or failing to control the risk of non-financial misconduct in their organisations. We also cover German whistleblowing protections including the current state of play on Germany’s implementation of the Whistleblowing Directive. This episode features Andreas Dehio (partner, financial regulation, Frankfurt), Christian Schmitt (partner, dispute resolution, Frankfurt) and Sara Cody (counsel, financial regulation, London).
