# The Financial Conglomerates and Other Financial Groups Regulations 2004, Regulation 24: Capital adequacy


(1) The co-ordinator may exclude an entity from the supplementary supervision scope when calculating the supplementary capital adequacy requirements if—
(a) the entity is situated in a third country where there are legal impediments to the transfer of the necessary information, without prejudice to the rules regarding the obligations of the competent authorities to refuse authorisation where the effective exercise of their supervisory functions is prevented;
(b) the entity is of negligible interest with respect to the objectives of the supplementary supervision of regulated entities in a financial conglomerate;
(c) the inclusion of the entity would be inappropriate or misleading with respect to the objectives of supplementary supervision.
(2) However, if several entities are to be excluded—
(a) under paragraph (1)(b), they must be included when collectively they are of non-negligible interest;
(b) under paragraph (1)(c), the co-ordinator must, except in cases of urgency, consult the other relevant competent authority before taking a decision.
(3) When the co-ordinator excludes a regulated entity in the supplementary supervision scope under paragraph (1)(b) and (c), the competent authorities may ask the entity which is at the head of the financial conglomerate for information which may facilitate the competent authorities' supervision of the regulated entity.
