The European Banking Authority has launched a consultation on revised Guidelines on internal governance under the Capital Requirements Directive, with proposed updates reflecting changes in the CRD framework and other legislation including the Digital Operational Resilience Act. The consultation is limited to the proposed changes and runs until 5 October 2025. The draft revisions incorporate CRD VI changes and further specify requirements under Article 88(3), including documented statements of role and duties for each member of the management body, senior manager and key function holder, as well as a mapping of duties across those roles. The text also adds guidance aimed at ensuring third-country branches have a robust governance framework, aligns with the DORA Regulation, reflects findings from the EBA benchmarking report on diversity practices and gender-neutral remuneration policies, and takes account of lessons learned from supervisory practices across the EU. A virtual public hearing is scheduled for 5 September from 11:30 to 13:00 Paris time, with registration required by 1 September (16:00 CEST). Contributions will be published after the consultation ends unless respondents request otherwise.
