The Financial Conglomerates Directive
from the Basel ii Compliance Professionals Association (BCPA)
the largest Association of Sarbanes Oxley professionals in the world
 
Article 11
Tasks of the coordinator
 
1. The tasks to be carried out by the coordinator with regard to supplementary supervision shall include:
 
(a) coordination of the gathering and dissemination of relevant or essential information in going concern and emergency situations, including the dissemination of information which is of importance for a competent authority's supervisory task under sectoral rules;
 
(b) supervisory overview and assessment of the financial situation of a financial conglomerate;
 
(c) assessment of compliance with the rules on capital adequacy and of risk concentration and intra-group transactions as set out in Articles 6, 7 and 8;
 
(d) assessment of the financial conglomerate's structure, organisation and internal control system as set out in Article 9;(e) planning and coordination of supervisory activities in going concern as well as in emergency situations, in cooperation with the relevant competent authorities involved;
 
(f) other tasks, measures and decisions assigned to the coordinator by this Directive or deriving from the application of this Directive.
 
In order to facilitate and establish supplementary supervision on a broad legal basis, the coordinator and the other relevant competent authorities, and where necessary other competent authorities concerned, shall have coordination arrangements in
place.
 
The coordination arrangements may entrust additional tasks to the coordinator and may specify the procedures for the decision-making process among the relevant competent authorities as referred to in Articles 3, 4, 5(4), 6, 12(2), 16 and 18, and for cooperation with other competent authorities.
 
2. The coordinator should, when it needs information which has already been given to another competent authority in accordance with the sectoral rules, contact this authority whenever possible in order to prevent duplication of reporting to the various authorities involved in supervision.
 
3. Without prejudice to the possibility of delegating specific supervisory competences and responsibilities as provided for by Community legislation, the presence of a coordinator entrusted with specific tasks concerning the supplementary supervision of regulated entities in a financial conglomerate shall not affect the tasks and responsibilities of the competent authorities as provided for by the sectoral rules.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE OFFICIAL PRESENTATIONS

We will send you 3 emails.

The first email (704 slides) covers all the presentations that are needed for the CBiiPro Exam. All the questions of the exam are based on these slides.

You can find the course synopsis at:
www.basel-ii-association.com/Certified_Basel_ii_Professional.htm

We also cover the Enhancements to the Basel II framework, July 2009, Supplemental Pillar 2 Guidance
(Supervisory Review Process) from the Bank for International Settlements

The second and the third emails cover the implementation of the Basel ii framework in the United States of America and the European Economic Area. There presentations are especially important for professionals working in multinational or large financial organizations.

These presentations are:

- Basel II in the United States of America (235 slides)

- The Capital Requirements Directive of the European Union (426 slides)

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) is the common framework for the implementation of Basel ii in European Union.

If you understand the Capital Requirements Directive (CRD), you can work not only for the implementation of the Basel ii framework in the 27 countries of the European Union, but also around the world for multinational banks and financial organizations with European operations.

The presentations not only cover the European directives, but also include topics like: Hedge Funds and the Capital Requirements Directive, Securitization and the Capital Requirements Directive.

- Regulatory Arbitrage after Basel ii (233 slides)

- The Financial Conglomerates Directive (183 slides)

QUESTION:
Why in a Basel ii certification program we need to understand the Financial Conglomerates Directive?

ANSWER:
Because we have a very different Basel ii implementation in each of the following structures:
A. The bank is the regulated entity at the head of the group
B. The bank is under a mixed financial holding company (MFHC)
C. The bank is under a financial holding company (FHC)
D. The bank is under an insurance holding company (IHC)

Only the first 704 slides (first email), that cover the Basel ii principles, are needed for the exam.
