Dublin, Feb. 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "IFPR - Investment Firms Prudential Regime & ICARA (Mar 24th - Mar 25th, 2026)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Learn about IFPR - Investment Firms' Prudential Regulation, ICARA Capital Requirements and K-Factors
Join this practical 1 day workshop conducted by a regulatory expert and a senior industry advisor to some of the leading international organisations to learn the best practices in implementing the directive and optimising your firm's liquidity, risk management and governance frameworks.
The EU Investment Firms Regulation and Directive (IFR/IFD) came into force December 2019, introducing a new prudential regime for investment firms and a material shift in the EU regulatory framework for investment firms currently authorised under MIFID. The IFR/IFD requirements vary by firm activities and asset size, but will replace the current Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive (CRR/CRD) for most investment firms. In addition, the ICARA - Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment will replace the existing Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP). We will be also examining the UK IFPR - Investment Firms Prudential Regime and its impact on funds in the UK.
This practical course taught by an expert with over 20 years of practical experience from the sector will examine the new regime and give you a chance to learn about compliance and regulatory capital requirements and their impact on firms' liquidity, prudential consolidation, risk management and governance frameworks as well as remuneration requirements and regulatory disclosures.
