Every firm previously classed as Exempt CAD, BIPRU, IFPRU or CPMI now answers to the IFPR — and the bill can include more regulatory capital at individual and parent level, additional liquid assets, enhanced reporting and a governance framework built around financial resilience. The pivotal change is the Overall Financial Adequacy Rule: the step-by-step assessment behind the own funds threshold requirement and the liquid assets threshold requirement is complex but unavoidable. This masterclass concentrates on the practical mechanics of the ICARA process — how it differs from an ICAAP, what documentation the regime demands, wind-down planning, and the reporting and notification obligations. The cohort works the OFAR assessment through end to end.

Frequently asked
How does the ICARA differ from an ICAAP, and does the course cover it?
The distinction is central to the masterclass. It concentrates on the practical mechanics of the ICARA process under the IFPR — how it differs from an ICAAP, the documentation the regime demands including the MIF007 questionnaire, wind-down planning, and the reporting and notification obligations that come with it.
Which firms does the IFPR training apply to?
Any firm previously classed as Exempt CAD, BIPRU, IFPRU or CPMI now answers to the IFPR. The course is built for CFOs and heads of department in investment firms, risk managers, treasury and liquidity specialists, compliance, regulatory change and model validation teams, internal audit and reporting professionals, and board members accountable for prudential compliance.
Does the programme work through the OFAR assessment?

Yes. BIZENIUS delivers the programme in English and French, and an in-house edition can be tailored to your firm’s previous prudential classification and current ICARA maturity. Sessions run on a rolling calendar with dates confirmed on request; fees and quotations are provided on enquiry.
