Vorstand aktuell

Continuing education is no longer optional for bank managers and board members, but rather a clear regulatory obligation (Section 25c (4) KWG, BaFin leaflet Rn. 105). At the same time, technical and regulatory requirements continue to increase. The intensive online workshop “Vorstand aktuell” (Executive Board Update) offers you a compact update on this topic, focusing on the most important current developments.

• The Current Regulatory Environment for 2026/2027
  (Expectations of the ECB, BaFin, and the Bundesbank; the ECB’s SREP methodology, including the ECB’s supervisory priorities for 2026–2028 and SREP focus areas; and operational banking activities)
• Executive Board Liability, Governance, and Risk Culture
  (Overall Responsibility of the Executive Board, Three Lines Model, Fit and Proper Requirements, Management Information Systems, Documentation and Reporting Requirements)
• Capital Management Under CRR III / CRD VI
  (Impact on Business Models, Pricing, and Regulatory Capital Requirements)
• ESG Risks: From a Sustainability Issue to a Risk Issue
  (ESG as a risk issue—not just a reporting issue—regulatory expectations for the Executive Board and Supervisory Board, specifically: compensation transparency—legal situation and political environment)
• DORA and Digital Operational Resilience – Current Developments
  (ICT/Cyber Risk Governance, Data Quality and Risk Data Aggregation (RDARR), Outsourcing and Cloud Providers, Incident Reporting Requirements)
• Recent Case Law

Participants receive direct impulses and have the opportunity to exchange ideas among the participants

It is an advanced training event within the meaning of Section 25c (4) KWG. 

The intensive online workshop will be led by Dr. Jens Thau, M.C.J. (New York University). Dr. Thau is a lawyer, specialist in labor law, licensed in Germany and New York.
