13 Nov 2024 BNP Paribas Fortis SA/NVBNP Paribas Fortis: €10.4m ECB penalty for inaccurate capital reporting EU levelDisclosure and reporting obligations €10.4m

According to the ECB decision, BNP Paribas Fortis reported, on a consolidated basis, inaccurate own funds requirements and risk-weighted assets for factoring exposures in 31 consecutive quarters from 2014 to 2021, because it used internal models whose material deficiencies it was aware of, and did not inform the supervisors. The ECB classified the breach as intentional and severe and imposed 10,400,000 EUR.

What organisations can take from it

Known model deficiencies must be disclosed to the supervisor rather than continuing to report on the basis of flawed results.
