Sachverständiger Fritz Kleiner diskutierte im Politik Café

BHI-Pleite, BAWAG und Hypo Alpe Adria – es waren große Wirtschaftsprozesse, die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten für Schlagzeilen sorgten. Einer, der im Zuge dieser aufsehenerregenden Verfahren ebenso im Rampenlicht stand, war Dr. Fritz Kleiner, der als Sachverständiger für Aufklärung vor Gericht sorgte. Rede und Antwort stand der Wirtschaftstreuhänder und Steuerberater auch in der Uni Graz-Reihe Politik Café am 26. April 2017 im Café Promenade.

Gastgeber Ao.Univ.-Prof. Markus Steppan diskutierte mit ihm Rolle, Aufgabe und Selbstverständnis eines Sachverständigen. „Gutachter ist kein Beruf, es ist eine Funktion“, erklärte Kleiner. Es erfordere zudem den wortwörtlichen „Sachverstand“ sowie die Fähigkeit, sich in andere Menschen hinzuversetzen, um deren Denkweise und Handeln zu verstehen. Bis zu 50.000 Seiten musste er für die Erstellung eines Gutachtens durchforsten. Das längste Gutachten wiederum umfasste 3000 Seiten. „Ein Urteil darf ich als Sachverständiger nicht fällen“, hielt Kleiner fest.

Die Veranstaltungsreihe „Politik Café“ ist Teil der 7. fakultät, des Zentrums für Gesellschaft, Wissen und Kommunikation der Uni Graz.

Complying with the norm: Why Do Standards Shape Our Lives, Elisabeth Staudegger?

Standards determine whether a sheet of paper fits in a printer or whether a charging plug can power multiple devices. These standards shape our everyday lives. But who actually sets these standards? Where are the weaknesses, and how could science help to improve them? Elisabeth Staudegger, Head of the ‘Law and IT’ Department at the Institute for Legal Foundations at the University of Graz, host the Academic Standards Day on 16 June. Here she relays how sciences can contribute to the topic of standardisation and reveals her personal favourite standard.
