Report on irregularities by intermediaries and staff (MELVUNT, Formblätter A, B/1 to B/4, C)

A regulatory return listed by the Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht) (BaFin), Germany.

Insurers report cases of irregularities by intermediaries, field staff and office staff (facts that could justify a criminal complaint, or suspected dishonest commission claims), so BaFin learns quickly about such cases and the methods used. People must be named (on form B) from EUR 5,000. Annual status reports follow; cases of at least EUR 50,000 caused by one person must be reported at once, outside the annual cycle. Source
