Board responsibilities under the CSSF Circular 12/552

This circular, on the central, internal governance and risk management, aims to bring together all the CSSF circulars previously published in central administration, audit and internal control, compliance, management risk and governance. The circular transposes into Luxembourg law the guidelines of the European Banking Authority (EBA) in internal governance (GL 44, September 2011) and the principles of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision on Bank Internal Audit (June 2012).
The purpose of the circular is to provide institutions concerned a robust internal control framework and formalized for sound and prudent risk management.
