Objectifs

After the changes introduced by the CSSF circular 20/759, banks must consider the provisions of the CSSF circular 22/807 transposing the EBA guidelines on internal governance (EBA/GL/2021/05) and on the assessment of the suitability of management body's members and key function holders (EBA/GL/2021/06), but also the internal adjustments to be made.

The CSSF circular 22/807 updating the CSSF circular 12/552 on central administration, internal governance and risk management reinforces the internal governance requirements for banks at all levels of the organisation: board of directors (including specialised committees), authorised management, internal control functions, etc. In particular, it strengthens the diversity rules and suitability requirements for board members and authorised managers, and introduces new rules regarding transactions with related parties and loans to the members of the management body.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

  • understand the key internal governance requirements for banks (incl. the roles and responsibilities of the management body, the 3 lines of defence model, etc.);
  • understand the respective roles and responsibilities of board members and authorised managers;
  • understand the main aspects of the suitability assessment of the board members, authorised managers and key function holders (both collectively and individually);
  • identify the CSSF expectations regarding the sound and prudent management of the institution;
  • understand the interactions of the board and authorised management with other stakeholders within the internal governance framework (internal control functions, external auditors, regulators, etc.);
  • understand the internal reporting mechanisms.
