The Central Bank's regulatory oversight process emphasizes an ongoing supervisory approach, involving both off-site surveillance and on-site examinations. The identification of excessive risk exposure and requiring implementation of actions to address and reduce those risks is a primary goal of the risk-based supervision framework employed by the Central Bank in the examination process. Risk-based examinations permit Examiner judgment in determining the scope and depth of work to be performed for each activity or function of a specific licensee. The objective of this Guide is to promote awareness and enhance the transparency and understanding of the Central Bank’s on-site examination process. The guide will also assist all Supervised Financial Institutions in preparing for, and responding to, supervisory examinations.
