The "leaflet" in accordance with the KWG, ZAG and KAGB explains the professional and personal requirements for people who are appointed as managing directors in accordance with the respective supervisory laws. The information sheet in accordance with the KWG and KAGB explains the technical and personal requirements for the members of administrative and supervisory bodies that are appointed in accordance with the respective supervisory laws.
