The Financial Times recently published an article stating that Ireland’s financial regulator has warned asset managers to correct “significant shortcomings” in their Irish entities' governance, raising questions about the viability of the delegation model in the country.
More concretely, the Central Bank of Ireland found uncovered failings in the country’s asset managers’ staffing levels, oversight, and risk management processes.
Apparently, a significant proportion of the 358 fund management companies registered in Ireland have not fully complied with regulations that came into force three years ago.
The regulators made a call to asset management companies to immediately meet the rules and warn that this is not only a one-time review. They will continue assessing that the appropriate level of due diligence is being carried out to ensure that they have sufficient substance behind them.
