Guidelines on Internal Controls for Benchmark Administrators, Credit Rating Agencies and Market Transparency Infrastructures

These Guidelines apply from 1 October 2026 to benchmark administrators, credit rating agencies, data reporting services providers, securitisation repositories, and trade repositories registered or authorised with ESMA. They require supervised entities to establish an internal control framework comprising a control environment, risk management, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities, alongside defined internal control functions. The document repeals the previous Guidelines on Internal Control for Credit Rating Agencies (ESMA33-9-371) as of its effective date.
