Sliding Money - The Wirecard Case
Milan February 16, 2026 – On Febryary 19 at 6:30 PM (CET), Antonio Rossi, in collaboration with Senapa Consulting, will host the live online webinar “Sliding Money – The Wirecard Case”, a 90-minute session (in Italian) followed by an interactive Q&A, designed for professionals in Audit, Compliance, Risk, and Finance.
Wirecard remains one of the most emblematic corporate fraud cases in Europe. For years, its financial statements appeared to support a compelling growth narrative, until the collapse revealed a €1.9 billion hole in the accounts. This webinar revisits the case through a forensic lens, focusing on how financial data can simultaneously tell a convincing story and conceal structural weaknesses.
Participants will be guided through key financial indicators, inconsistencies, and analytical red flags that, in hindsight, signalled deeper issues. The session will explore how numbers should be questioned, contextualised, and stress-tested, particularly when performance appears unusually strong or opaque.
Beyond reconstructing the Wirecard case, the webinar aims to strengthen investigative reasoning: which questions should auditors and risk professionals ask? How can behavioural and transactional anomalies be interpreted? What distinguishes aggressive accounting from systemic fraud?
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, allowing participants to discuss practical applications and investigative approaches relevant to their own professional environments.
