Application for Initial Assessment

Factsheet

Read aloud

An initial fit and proper assessment takes place upon a proposed appointment or if incumbent management or supervisory board members change their position or remit within the same institution. In the case of applications for authorisation or declarations of no-objection (DNOs), policymakers and co-policymakers are also assessed on fitness and/or propriety or reputation.
