The certificates the regulator asks about

flynne issues none of them and checks none of them on the merits. It runs them as stages with a status and a deadline.

Investment advice expertise
To be proven before the first client conversation and notified to the regulator.
Reliability under money laundering law
To be checked in certain functions. Without a result, dependent steps stay locked.
Fitness of the management body
The judgement has to rest on grounds that still make sense years later.
Independence of control functions
For compliance, anti-money-laundering and audit, the conflict check belongs in the procedure.

What the regulator expects to see documented

MaRisk

The German minimum requirements for risk management demand that institutions document their processes and the qualification of those involved. For personnel selection that means not only who was hired, but on what basis. flynne holds the type of procedure, the participants and the results together, ready for inspection and without searching through files.

Expertise in investment advice

For investment advisers, sales officers and compliance officers, expertise and reliability have to be evidenced and reported to the supervisor. flynne carries the evidence as a stage of the procedure with a status and an expiry date, and warns before anything lapses.

Anti-money laundering law

Employees in certain functions have to be reliable, and the institution has to check that. flynne does not issue the check, but it records whether it exists and only allows dependent steps once it is done.

KWG, professional suitability and reliability

For managing directors and key function holders the supervisor examines both. The assessment has to rest on traceable grounds. That is exactly what a structured procedure documents, and exactly what is missing from a conversation without a record.

DORA

The European regulation on digital operational resilience also looks at personnel capacity. An institution that cannot fill its IT security roles has a supervisory issue, not only an HR issue.

DIN 33430 and the EU AI Act

The standard for occupational aptitude assessment requires documented procedures and qualified participants. The supervisor does not ask about the standard, but does ask for exactly the traceability it describes. The EU AI Act draws a clear line on top: systems that take part in hiring decisions count as high risk. That is why flynne judges nobody.

Where the regulator looks more closely

Every role brings its own rules, its own participants and a bottleneck of its own.

Investment advice and sales

Expertise has to be evidenced before the first client conversation, and the supervisor expects the institution to be able to prove it. Selection and evidence therefore do not run one after the other but interlocked: anyone who passes the selection but does not produce the evidence cannot start.

Credit decisions and back office

What counts here is judgement under incomplete information, not sales talent. The procedures need case work rather than self-assessment, and assessors from the field who have taken such decisions themselves.

Management and key function holders

For managing directors and key function holders the supervisor examines professional suitability and reliability. The selection procedure has to be able to show what the suitability statement rests on: years later, to people who were not there.

Compliance, anti-money laundering and audit

These functions have to be independent, and that is exactly what the supervisor checks on the personnel side too. Selection here means establishing suitability and at the same time evidencing that there are no conflicts of interest.

IT and information security

Since the supervisor started examining digital operational resilience, filling these roles is itself under review. The market is empty, so the procedures have to be fast, and documented nonetheless.

Common questions from this sector

Can we carry evidence of expertise along inside the procedure?

Yes, as a stage of its own with a status and an expiry date. flynne does not issue the evidence, but it records which evidence exists and which steps depend on it, and it warns before expiry instead of leaving it to one person’s calendar.

What do you supply for an internal audit?

Per procedure: which requirements applied, who took part, with which qualification, when it was checked and how it was decided. Reportable per site and role. Plus the documents on our own operations: security certificates, technical and organisational measures, deletion concept.

We run procedures in several countries. Does that work in one system?

Yes. Types of procedure, requirements and documents are configured per country while reporting stays global. The data remains within the EU throughout.

Does flynne rate candidates?

No, and that is a decision of principle. flynne organises the procedure: appointments, rooms, examiners, documents, deadlines. The suitability statement is made by a qualified person. That keeps the decision where the supervisor expects it.
