Addendum to the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears 2013 Central Bank of Ireland Page 4 INTRODUCTION In March 2021, the Central Bank of Ireland (‘the Central Bank’) published Consultation Paper 139 (CP139) on the Review of the Standard Financial Statement (‘SFS’). This consultation sought views from stakeholders on proposals to amend the SFS (Appendix 1 of the Code of Conduct on Mortgage Arrears 2013 (‘2013 CCMA’) and Appendix E of the Consumer Protection Code 2012 (‘2012 Code’). The objective of the review and of the consultation process was to identify enhancements to the SFS document, and the supports in place for borrowers in completing the SFS, while still ensuring that the SFS continues to fulfil its primary purpose of providing a comprehensive basis for a regulated entity to undertake an assessment of a borrower’s individual financial circumstances. Having considered the responses received to the public consultation, the Central Bank is now introducing a new SFS document which will amend and replace the SFS template available under Appendix 1 of the 2013 CCMA. The purpose of this Addendum is to give effect to the new SFS document contained in this Addendum and to replace the previous version of the SFS document available under Appendix 1 of the 2013 CCMA. This Addendum is effective from 1 January 2022. When the assessment of a Standard Financial Statement has started before the implementation date of the new SFS document as contained in this Addendum and is not completed yet, a regulated entity must continue the assessment as per the requirements of the 2013 CCMA, without the necessity for the borrower to complete this new SFS document. For the purposes of giving effect to the enhanced Standard Financial Statement, the following
part of the 2013 CCMA is amended as set out below:
 Appendix 1: Industry Standard Financial Statement LEGAL BASIS Pursuant to Section 117 of the Central Bank Act 1989, the 2013 CCMA is hereby amended as set out below. The Central Bank of Ireland has the power to administer sanctions for a contravention of the 2013 CCMA, under Part IIIC of the Central Bank Act 1942. Regulated entities are reminded that they are required to comply with the 2013 CCMA as a matter of law.

by the following:

Industry Standard Financial Statement
This statement is for use in the MARP
Information to help you with completing the Standard Financial Statement Please read carefully To complete the SFS, please use the Guide to completing a Standard Financial Statement published by the Central Bank and available on its website. We at [name of regulated entity] are committed to working with customers who are in or facing financial difficulties to find a solution where that is possible. Before you complete this Standard Financial Statement (SFS), please read the following information which will assist you with understanding the document. What is this Standard Financial Statement? This SFS helps you set out your financial situation. After you complete it, we will assess your information as part of the Mortgage Arrears Resolution Process (MARP). We will then explore what type of alternative repayment arrangement (ARA), from the options we offer, that is appropriate and sustainable for your individual circumstances. While it may look like a lot of information to provide, we only ask for the information we really need to help us to assess your financial situation and find, when possible, a suitable solution for you. Where can I find more information on the MARP?  Our MARP booklet [insert link]. The MARP booklet also provides useful information in the case where no alternative solution is offered to you.  The Central Bank’s guide to the CCMA which outlines your protections when experiencing difficulties with your mortgage [here]. What supports are available to help me complete the SFS? Check our website for the range of the supports we provide: [insert link].

The Money Advice and Budgeting Service (MABS): MABS is a free, confidential and independent service which will help you to complete the SFS. They will talk you through the document and give advice about the supporting documents you may need to provide.
