30. Institutions should ensure, in fulfilling the obligation set out in Article 91(7) of Directive 2013/36/EU that at all times the management body collectively possesses adequate knowledge, skills and experience to be able to understand the institutions' activities, including the main risks. Notwithstanding the experience, knowledge and skills requirement for each member of the management body, institutions should ensure that the overall composition of the management body reflects an adequately broad range of experience.

a. when applying for authorisation to take up the business;

b. when material changes to the composition of the management body occur, including:

i. when appointing new members of the management body, including as a result of a direct or indirect acquisition or increase of a qualifying holding in an institution [See footnote 17.];

ii. when re-appointing members of the management body, if the requirements of the position have changed or if the members are appointed to a different position within the management body;

iii. when appointed or reappointed members cease to be members of the management body.

c. on an ongoing-basis, in accordance with paragraph 33.
