EBA Drafts Technical Standards on Operational Risk Management

EUNOTABLERegulation proposedModel risk

What changed

The EBA published draft Regulatory Technical Standards under CRR3 Article 323(2), specifying institutions' operational risk obligations set out in Article 323(1), points (a) to (h), scaled to each institution's size and complexity.

Who this touches

Banks and other credit institutions regulated under the EU Capital Requirements Regulation.

Why it matters

The draft turns a broad legal obligation into a standard institutions can be measured against, with size and complexity determining how much evidence is expected.

Suggested next step — and why

Institutions might map current operational risk documentation against Article 323(1), points (a) to (h), with their own advisers before the RTS is finalized.

The clock

Consultation stage is open; the source gives no closing date for comment or effective date.

The editor's read

The obligation under Article 323(1) already exists — what the RTS specifies is what counts as evidence of meeting it. Documentation sized to institutional complexity means untracked practice and no practice will read the same. — IDV
