Governance Essentials for Financial Institution Boards
Boards in German financial institutions operate under regulatory complexity. Whether you're a supervisory board member, management board member, or committee manager, you face statutory obligations under KWG, CRR, MaRisk, and BaFin's Fit & Proper requirements.
This online training addresses what boards must know: corporate governance frameworks, personal liability exposure, risk management accountability, and the competency standards BaFin expects. You'll work through real world scenarios from banking practice, not theoretical abstractions.
The program covers:
- Board member duties under KWG § 25c and regulatory circulars
- Personal accountability frameworks from BaFin's Fit & Proper Standard
- Risk management responsibilities across the board structure
- Compliance officer oversight and the management board's role
- Committee governance for Risk, Audit, and Remuneration
