Online Seminar „Reporting acc. to the German Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (AWV)“ on 21 May 2026

The German statistical reporting requirements in the field of foreign trade and payments record both incoming and outgoing payments (transactions) as well as the outstanding stocks of claims, liabilities, and direct investments. In the case of banks and financial institutions operating internationally, the large number of cross-border business activities can give rise to a substantial volume of AWV reports. At present, the reporting framework is becoming increasingly complex, driven not only by the growing volume and diversity of international transactions but also by ongoing digitalization and the tightening of audit and verification requirements imposed by the Deutsche Bundesbank. These developments place higher demands on data quality, documentation standards, and internal control processes.
The seminar is aimed at employees working in regulatory reporting and foreign trade reporting departments, as well as colleagues from related functions, such as accounting, finance, and payment operations.
The following agenda is planned for the seminar day:
- Overview on the German AWV reporting
Rafik Ahmad | Flick Gocke Schaumburg Rechtsanwälte Wirtschaftsprüfer Steuerberater Partnerschaft mbB - Typical transaction reports concerning deposits, loans and (other financial) services
Maxi Wilkowski | PricewaterhouseCoopers Legal AG Rechtsanwaltsgesellschaft - Typical transaction reports concerning securities and financial instruments
