Review function

Regulation (EU) No 462/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council requires credit rating agencies to establish a review function responsible for periodical revision of methodologies, models and key rating assumptions, such as mathematical or correlation assumptions.

Rating-Agentur Expert RA GmbH has appointed a review function officer and established a procedure of methodological committee meetings in order to perform the aforementioned tasks. The review function officer operates independently from the business lines of the Agency and is not involved in credit rating activities.

The review function officer reports to the Advisory board of the Agency, which assesses its performance based on proposals of the review function, comments from the rating service, managing director, general public and CRA Regulator (ESMA).
