Information forms the basis of every conflict of interest.

- Insider directory

- Chinese walls

- Wall crossing procedures

- Watch list

- Restricted list

- Compliance guidelines and guidelines for employee transactions

The workflow in our VIPsight-team follows the guidance standard of ISO 26000
