And this is not just down to the rate and number of tasks to be performed but also to their complexity. Ten years ago, IT-related supervisory standards were fairly manageable. Nowadays, specialisation within this risk category is playing an increasingly important part. Knowledge of IT risks needs to be updated constantly.
Information sharing between supervisory authorities across national borders has become a major factor, and knowledge management is becoming a key task in this regard. Added to this is the fact that issues have increasingly taken on an interdisciplinary dimension. To put it loosely, when it comes to some topics, it is no longer possible for a single person to make a comprehensive assessment.
