EBA - Consultation on revised Guidelines on internal governance under CRD
EBA launched a consultation on its revised Guidelines on internal governance under the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD). The proposed revisions reflect the changes introduced in the CRD framework as well as in other relevant legislations, such as the Digital Operational Resilience Acts (DORA). The consultation runs until 7 November 2025 and is limited to the proposed changes.
The draft revised Guidelines have been amended to reflect the changes brought by CRD VI. They specify further the requirements under Article 88(3) of CRD VI, to ensure that each member of the management body, senior manager and key function holder have a documented statement of role and duties, and that a mapping of duties of the members of the management body, senior managers and key function holders has been drawn up. They also provide specific guidance to ensure that third-country branches have a robust governance framework in place.
The draft revised Guidelines have been amended also to ensure alignment with the DORA Regulation and take into account the findings of the EBA benchmarking Report of diversity practices and gender-neutral remuneration policies. Finally, they also consider the lessons learned from supervisory practices across the EU
