On 17 November 2020, the Central Bank of Ireland ("CBI") published on its website and sent to the management of regulated financial services providers ("firms") a "2020 Dear CEO Letter" that highlights its key findings resulting from a thematic inspection in relation to firms' compliance with requirements of the Fitness and Probity Regime ("F&P Regime").
The CBI has grouped the shortcomings identified under five key headings which are discussed in the briefing below:
- Role of the board in the fitness and probity process;
- Conducting due diligence;
- Outsourcing of roles subject to the fitness and probity regime;
- Engagement with the CBI; and
- The role of the Compliance function.
Our briefing on the "2020 Dear CEO Letter" outlines the key points under each of these headings and extracts action items for firms.
