“The Association undertakes this task for the eleven legally and economically independent Sparda-Banks. The 'Verband der Sparda-Banken e.V' (Association of Sparda-Banks), which has its headquarters in Frankfurt am Main, is an auditing association as defined in the Genossenschaftsgesetz (German Cooperative Societies Act, GenG). The 'administrative unit' also acts as the group's interface with the outside world.”
