In 2025/2026, the impairment tests pursuant to section 44 KWG – PAAR will become a focus of audits by the Bundesbank and BaFin.

At our conference, you will receive an initial classification of the supervisory background and the audit focus, but also the pitfalls for institutions.

Dominik Leichinger, a speaker from the Deutsche Bundesbank, will provide you with first-hand information on the topic of targeted credit business audits in the current economic environment, including the assessment of recoverability.

A field report from a PAAR audit of an institution audited in 2025 will round off the agenda.

Take the opportunity to find out more about this important supervisory topic from our internal and external experts, including from the Deutsche Bundesbank, and to exchange ideas and network with colleagues from other institutions.
