Summary (as published)An investigation by the Insurance Industry Vocational Training Association (VBV) has revealed that VBV intermediary certificates were wrongly issued in around 100 cases as a result of manipulation. The VBV is not supervised by FINMA. The association acts on behalf of the insurance and intermediary industry and will restore compliance with the law for these certificates. It has also filed a criminal complaint. Untied intermediaries are subject to direct supervision by FINMA. If there is evidence of a violation of financial market law, FINMA will remove the untied intermediaries concerned from the register of insurance intermediaries and evaluate the necessity of additional supervisory measures.
