10 How to approach the new requirements?
11 Circular impacts on Luxembourg Banks and IF The new requirements generate three kinds of impacts: 1. Necessity to analyse all the gaps (and derive an action plan for implementation), 2. Obligation to document in writing all strategic, tactical and operational processes, 3. Enlarge the scope and carefully review the training plan (from Board to employee level). 11
12 1. GAP ANALYSIS
13 1.1 Gap analysis: A must The Authorised Management must confirm in one sentence to the CSSF, on an annual basis, that the institution complies with all aspects of the circular. The only way to be in a position to confirm is to perform a detailed gap analysis. 13
14 1.2. Gap analysis: Phasing the analysis Good news: The gap analysis can be phased since: The new circular will apply to all Luxembourg banks and investment firms (including Luxembourg branches of non-eea firms) as from 1st July 2013, Some of the requirements will be, however, only applicable as from 1st January 2014: (i) The general requirements relating to the Board of Directors composition and qualifications, (ii) the rules relating to the implementation of specialised committees (except the ones relating to the audit committee) and (iii) the need to establish certain written guidelines approved by the Board of Directors. Bad news: The gap analysis has to be performed during
