Certain licensees may rely on a reciprocal recovery arrangement with other institutions to provide recovery capability (e.g. Cheque sorting and cash handling). Licensees should, however, note that such arrangements are often not appropriate for prolonged disruptions or an extended period of time. This arrangement could also make it difficult for Licensees to adequately test their BCP. Any reciprocal recovery agreement should therefore be subject to proper risk assessment and documentation by licensees, and formal approval by the Board.
