The Wirecard Scandal: Dan McCrum in conversation with Elisabeth Stheeman
2022-06-14 18:45 - 19:45
Join us on Tuesday 14 June at 6.45pm BST on Zoom for a conversation between Dan McCrum and Elisabeth Stheeman about the Wirecard scandal.
During what has been described as “the financial investigation of the decade”, reporter Dan McCrum uncovered one of the biggest economic scandals in Europe. Wirecard began as a financial services start-up and soon overtook industry giants such as Deutsche Bank on the stock market. After years of McCrum’s relentless pursuit, the tech firm declared bankruptcy in 2020.
Dan McCrum and Elisabeth Stheeman will take us into the world of Wirecard’s multi-billion-dollar fraud, with stranger-than-fiction stories of short sellers, whistle-blowers, hackers, spies – as well as directors, auditors, courts and regulators.
Dan McCrum is a member of the Investigations team at the Financial Times, where he has worked for 15 years writing about business and finance. His reporting on Wirecard has been recognised with more than a dozen prizes, including journalist of the year at the 2020 British Press awards. His first book, about the company’s unbelievable rise and crashing fall, has been published as House of Wirecard in German and will be released as Money Men in English on 16 June.
Elisabeth Stheeman is an external member of the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee (FPC) and an external member of the Bank of England’s Financial Market Infrastructure (FMI) Board.
She has been a member of the Supervisory Board of Aareal Bank AG, the deputy chair of the Risk Committee and a member of the Technology and Innovation Committee since 2015. She has been a non-executive director of Edinburgh Investment Trust (EIT) plc, a FTSE 250 listed investment trust, since 2019.

POSTPONED - In conversation with Philip Oltermann
2022-05-24 20:00 - 21:00
Our conversation with author and journalist Philip Oltermann, which was due to take place at 8pm on 24 May, has been postponed. We will let you know as soon as we have a new date for the event.
Philip Oltermann was born in Schleswig-Holstein in 1981. He studied English and German literature in Oxford University and University College London before beginning a career in journalism for both German and English-language media. He has written for Granta, the London Review of Books, and the Guardian, for whom he is the Berlin Bureau Chief. His first book, Keeping Up with the Germans, was published in 2012.
His newly released book, The Stasi Poetry Circle, tells the extraordinary true story of how a group of soldiers and border guards gathered for monthly meetings at a heavily guarded military compound in socialist East Berlin to learn how to write lyrical verse.
In 1982, East Germany’s fearsome secret police – convinced that writers were embedding subversive messages in their work – decided to train their own writers, weaponising poetry in the struggle against the class enemy. Using first-hand accounts and exclusive interviews, Oltermann’s unconventional group biography charts the history of the German Democratic Republic from its utopian origins to its descent into a paranoid culture war: a literary detective story filled with spies who were moulded into poets; poets who spied on fellow writers.
There will be an opportunity to ask questions at the end of the conversation.

2022-04-07 18:00 - 19:00

Increasing Germany's digital competitiveness - Chatham House
2022-03-09
Chatham House has kindly invited BGA members to join an online event on 9 March at 1pm GMT exploring the opportunities and challenges Germany faces in a world of rapid technological change.
A key debate in the recent German federal election, and a priority for the new coalition government, will be how to modernize the country to meet the demands of an increasingly digital world.
Germany has solid foundations to become a digital powerhouse being Europe’s largest economy and a global hub for industry and research. But the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed shortcomings in the country’s digital development, highlighting issues such as poor digital infrastructure, lower levels of digital education, and a governing system which can make implementing the necessary reforms difficult.
• What are the priorities for the new government in order to enhance Germany’s digital competitiveness?
• How can policy decisions promote widespread adoption of new digital technologies?
• What is the role of businesses as part of this transformation?
• How do these reforms tie in with wider European efforts to increase the continent’s digital sovereignty?
Speakers:
Stefan Heumann, Member of the Management Board, SNV
Iris Plöger, Member of the Executive Board, BDI
Kristina Sinemus, Minister for Digital Strategy and Development, Hessian State Chancellery
