  • Notification of Fraud or other Material Concerns

    • BR-5.1.13

      All banks must report immediately to the CBB any frauds, either attempted or realised, or any well-founded concerns about the integrity of individual Directors or members of management. This obligation to disclose extends to individual Board members and members of management: i.e. if a Director or member of management has reasonable grounds to believe that information that should have been reported to the CBB has not, then they have a duty to report the matter personally to the CBB. All such cases shall be treated in the strictest confidence by the CBB.

    • BR-5.1.14

      All banks must report immediately to the CBB any material losses as soon as the bank becomes aware of them. This notification requirement is separate from notifications for loan write-offs (see BR-5.2.3) or frauds (see above), but refers to losses caused by external events (e.g. falls in stock markets) or internal control failures. In this context 'material' would mean: a loss which exceeds 5% of net earnings in a given quarter; or a loss which reduces the bank's capital adequacy by more than 1%; or a loss which reduces total assets by more than 1%.
