In 1993 an anti-money laundering law was introduced in Germany. All banks and other financial service providers in Germany have to adhere to this law.

The compliance with these regulations is supervised by external auditors in connection with their preparation of the Bank's Annual Report. A copy of the auditor's report is forwarded to the "BaFin".
