Where a bank is unable to satisfy the CBB that its subsidiaries and other group members or foreign branches are subject to the same or equivalent arrangements, the CBB will assess the potential impact of risks – both financial and reputational – to the bank arising from inadequate high-level controls in the rest of the group of which it is a member. In such instances, the CBB may impose restrictions on dealings between the bank and other group members. Where weaknesses in controls are assessed by the CBB to pose a major threat to the stability of the bank, then its authorisation may be called into question.
