Article 277 Assessment of a significant deviation as regards the governance
For the purposes of Article 37(1)(c) of Directive 2009/138/EC, in concluding that the system of governance of an insurance or reinsurance undertaking deviates significantly from the standards laid down in Title I, Chapter IV, Section 2 of that Directive, supervisory authorities shall take into account all relevant factors including all of the following:
(a) the effect of the deviation from the governance standards as laid down in Title I, Chapter IV, Section 2 of Directive 2009/138/EC on the sound and prudent management of the business and whether the deviation arises from an inadequate implementation of a requirement relating to the system of governance or a failure to implement such a requirement;
(b) the likelihood and severity of any adverse impact on policyholders and beneficiaries;
(c) the different ways of organising an effective system of governance which is proportionate to the nature, scale and complexity of the risks inherent in the business of the undertaking;
(d) the probable financial loss the undertaking could incur as a consequence of the deviation;
(e) the anticipated duration of the deviation.
