EBA launches consultation on its new Guidelines on internal governance for investment firms
The European Banking Authority (EBA) launched today a public consultation on its new Guidelines on internal governance under the Investment Firms Directive (IFD), specifying the governance provisions that Class 2 investment firms should comply with, taking into account the proportionality principle. This governance framework aims at ensuring that investment firms have a clear organisational structure, effectively manage their risks and have adequate internal control mechanisms in place. The consultation runs until 18 March 2021.
