Our Competencies in CRR/CRD - Capital Requirements Regulation & Directive

Choose the area that fits your requirements

CRD Advanced Approach

The Advanced IRB Approach (A-IRB) allows institutions to estimate all risk parameters internally — probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), exposure at default (EAD) and credit conversion factors (CCF) — using proprietary models. ADVISORI guides you from model development through supervisory approval to ongoing validation — for risk-sensitive capital management under CRR III.

CRD Buffer Requirements

The CRD combined buffer requirement defines how capital conservation buffer, countercyclical buffer, systemic risk buffer and G-SII/O-SII buffers interact under a single framework. ADVISORI advises financial institutions on buffer stacking rules, capital distribution restrictions, MDA calculation and capital conservation planning � ensuring full compliance with the CRD buffer framework.

CRD Capital Adequacy

Capital adequacy requirements under the CRD comprise the overall capital requirement from Pillar 1 minimum, SREP capital add-on (P2R), combined buffer requirement, and Pillar 2 Guidance (P2G). We support banks in supervisory capital quantification, preparation for CRD VI changes, and integration of ESG risks into the capital adequacy assessment.

CRD Compliance

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD VI) introduces stricter requirements for governance, fit-and-proper assessments, and ESG risk management. CRD compliance requires end-to-end processes from suitability assessments through internal control systems to ongoing supervisory reporting. ADVISORI supports credit institutions with comprehensive CRD compliance: gap analysis, governance framework design, and regulatory documentation.

CRD Conservation Buffer

The CRD Capital Conservation Buffer under Art. 129 CRD V/VI requires EU credit institutions to hold 2.5% Common Equity Tier 1 (CET1) capital above minimum requirements. When breached, the MDA (Maximum Distributable Amount) calculation triggers automatic distribution restrictions on dividends, bonuses, and AT1 coupons. ADVISORI advises on strategic buffer management, CRD VI implementation, and regulatory capital planning across the EU framework.

CRD Corporate Governance

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) defines comprehensive governance requirements for credit institutions across the EU � from fit-and-proper assessments to management body composition and remuneration policies. CRD VI adds ESG governance obligations and enhanced supervisory board duties. ADVISORI supports you in fully implementing all CRD governance requirements, preparing for suitability assessments, and establishing robust internal governance structures aligned with EBA guidelines.

CRD Countercyclical Buffer

The countercyclical capital buffer under Art. 130 CRD (Directive 2013/36/EU) requires credit institutions to maintain an institution-specific buffer as the weighted average of applicable national CCyB rates. The calculation under Art. 140 CRD considers the geographic distribution of credit risk exposures. ADVISORI supports you with CRD-compliant buffer calculation, ESRB reciprocity requirements and implementation of CRD VI changes effective January 2026.

CRD Credit Institution

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD VI) imposes comprehensive requirements on credit institutions regarding governance, authorisation, and supervision. We support banks in the strategic implementation of all CRD requirements - from fit & proper assessments and internal governance structures to supervisory interaction. Our RegTech solutions make your CRD compliance efficient and sustainable.

CRD Credit Risk

End-to-end consulting for implementing the CRD credit risk framework: from the reformed Standardised Approach (SA-CR) and Output Floor calculations to ECAI due diligence requirements. We support your institution in the compliant implementation of CRR III capital requirements and the strategic optimisation of your risk weighting.

CRD Directive

The Capital Requirements Directive (CRD) is the core EU directive governing banking supervision, governance, and authorization of credit institutions. From CRD IV through CRD V to the current CRD VI, it defines the supervisory framework that each EU member state must transpose into national law. ADVISORI has been supporting banks and financial institutions with CRD implementation for over 14 years.

CRD Disclosure Report

The CRD requires credit institutions to maintain a transparent disclosure process with clear governance. We support banks in establishing three-line quality assurance, drafting the disclosure policy and preparing for the Pillar 3 Data Hub � so your disclosure report withstands supervisory scrutiny.

CRD EBA

The European Banking Authority (EBA) operationalises the CRD through binding guidelines on internal governance, remuneration policy, fit-and-proper assessments and ESG risk management. With CRD VI transposition due by January 2026 and the governance guidelines revision (EBA/CP/2025/20), banks face comprehensive adjustments. ADVISORI supports the structured implementation of all EBA requirements � from gap analysis and MaRisk compatibility review to supervisory dialogue.

CRD Fit and Proper

Fit and Proper ensures that members of the management body, supervisory board and key function holders meet regulatory requirements for knowledge, experience, integrity and time commitment. With CRD VI expanding the scope to key function holders and the revised EBA/ESMA joint guidelines introducing AML/CFT competence requirements, banks face growing complexity in their suitability assessment processes. ADVISORI supports you with systematic implementation of all Fit and Proper requirements across the EU framework.

CRD Governance

The CRD defines binding requirements for the internal governance of credit institutions – from the three lines of defence model through internal control systems to the independent compliance function. With the new EBA guidelines (EBA/CP/2025/20) and CRD VI, requirements for risk management governance, control functions, and organizational structures are tightening significantly. ADVISORI supports you with gap analysis, implementation, and ongoing monitoring of your internal governance framework aligned with EBA standards.

CRD IV

Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV) together with the CRR forms the regulatory foundation of EU banking supervision under Basel III. We support financial institutions in the full implementation of governance, SREP and Pillar 2 requirements — from gap analysis to supervisory-compliant implementation.

CRD IV Germany

The German implementation of the Capital Requirements Directive IV places specific demands on governance, risk management and BaFin interaction through the KWG and MaRisk framework. We guide banks through full CRD IV compliance in Germany � from gap analysis and SREP preparation to the implementation of compliant remuneration and governance structures.

CRD Internal Models

The use of internal models to calculate risk-weighted assets requires supervisory approval from the ECB and national authorities. We guide your institution through the entire IRB approval process � from model development and validation per the revised ECB guide 2025 to successful regulatory approval. With our expertise, you navigate the tightened CRD VI requirements, the output floor and internal model restrictions with confidence.

CRD Liquidity

The CRD establishes binding liquidity requirements for EU banks � from the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) to internal liquidity risk management. ADVISORI supports financial institutions with regulatory implementation, liquidity governance and building robust stress testing frameworks.

CRD Liquidity Coverage Ratio

The Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) requires credit institutions to hold sufficient high-quality liquid assets (HQLA) to cover net cash outflows over a 30-day stress scenario. The minimum ratio is 100%. Under the EU implementation of Basel III through CRR/CRD, Delegated Regulation 2015/61 governs HQLA categories, inflow/outflow rates, and reporting requirements. ADVISORI supports banks with compliant LCR calculation, HQLA optimization, and supervisory reporting.

CRD Market Discipline

CRD Market Discipline creates transparency and trust between financial institutions and stakeholders through Pillar 3 disclosure requirements. As a leading consulting firm, we develop tailored RegTech solutions for automated disclosure processes, intelligent risk communication and strategic transparency optimisation with full IP protection.

Frequently Asked Questions about Disclosure Report

What must a Pillar 3 disclosure report under CRR contain?

A disclosure report under CRR Part

8 contains quantitative and qualitative information on own funds, capital requirements, credit risk, market risk, operational risk, leverage ratio and liquidity metrics. The EBA prescribes standardised tables — including KM 1 (key metrics), OV 1 (total risk amount), CR1–CR 5 (credit risk) and LIQ1–LIQ 2 (liquidity). CRR III adds ESG risk templates and the crypto-asset table EU CAE1. Qualitative sections describe risk management procedures, governance structures and the adequacy of capital resources.

How often must a bank publish its disclosure report?

Publication frequency depends on institution size and complexity. Large institutions publish quarterly, medium-sized ones semi-annually, and small and non-complex institutions (SNCIs) annually. Certain tables such as KM 1 (key metrics) and the leverage ratio must be disclosed quarterly regardless of institution size. CRR III has specified these frequency rules in Art. 433a–433c.

What proportionality relief applies to small and non-complex institutions?

Small and non-complex institutions (SNCIs as defined in Art. 4(1)(145) CRR) benefit from the proportionality principle: they disclose only a subset of EBA templates, typically publish annually rather than quarterly, and may omit certain qualitative explanations. Relief applies particularly to market risk, trading book tables and detailed credit risk breakdowns. SNCIs must still fully disclose KM1, own funds and leverage tables.

What is the Pillar 3 Data Hub and when does it become mandatory?

The Pillar

3 Data Hub (P3DH) is a centralised EBA platform through which all institutions in the European Economic Area submit their disclosure reports. The P3DH has been operational since January 2026. Until end of 2025, institutions could publish in parallel on their own website — from 2026, the P3DH becomes the sole publication channel. Submission uses XBRL CSV format according to the DPM 4.1 taxonomy.

Which EBA disclosure tables are mandatory for the disclosure report?

The EBA ITS define over

80 templates, organised by risk category: own funds and buffers (EU CC1, EU CC2), leverage (EU LR1–LR3), credit risk (EU CR1–CR5, EU CQ1–CQ7), market risk (EU MR1–MR4), operational risk (EU OR1), liquidity (EU LIQ1–LIQ2) and remuneration (EU REM1–REM5). CRR III adds ESG templates, the crypto-asset table EU CAE 1 and the output floor disclosure. Table numbering follows the EBA EU prefix scheme.

How do banks ensure data quality in the disclosure report?

Data quality in the disclosure report requires consistency across three data streams: regulatory reporting (COREP/FINREP), accounting (annual statements/IFRS) and disclosure. Institutions use automated reconciliation routines that identify discrepancies between data sets. Essential elements include a well-defined data model with clear responsibilities, documented transformation rules and a four-eyes principle for sign-off. The EBA validation rules within the DPM taxonomy support technical verification.

What changes to the disclosure report does CRR III bring from 2025?

CRR III introduces significant extensions: new ESG disclosure tables become mandatory for all institutions, the crypto-asset table EU CAE 1 is added, and market risk templates are aligned with the FRTB standardised approach. The output floor requires additional disclosure. From 2026, the Pillar

3 Data Hub replaces website-based publication. Transitional provisions provide phased implementation: large institutions from June 2025, SNCIs from

2026 with reference date December 2025.
