Credit institutions and finance companies shall have a sound system of governance including, in particular, a clear organisation ensuring a well-defined, transparent and consistent division of responsibilities, effective procedures for detecting, managing, monitoring and reporting the risks to which they are or could be exposed, an adequate system of internal control, sound administrative and accounting procedures, remuneration policies and practices enabling and promoting sound and effective risk management and, where applicable, a preventive recovery plan as referred to in Article L. 613-35.
The staff performing control functions are independent of the business units they control and have the resources they need to perform their duties.
The governance system referred to in the first paragraph is adapted to the nature, scale and complexity of the risks inherent in the business model and activities of the credit institution or finance company.
