The second line of defence controls the implementation of risk management measures by the NPE WUs and should have a special focus on:

• a) monitoring and measuring of NPE-related risks on a granular and aggregate basis, including in relation to internal/regulatory capital adequacy;
• b) reviewing the performance of the overall NPE operating model, as well as elements of it (e.g. NPE WU management/staff, outsourcing/servicing arrangements, NPE reduction targets and early warning mechanisms);
• c) assuring quality across NPE loan processing, monitoring/reporting (internal and external), forbearance, impairments, write-offs, collateral valuation and NPE reporting (in order to fulfil this role, second-line functions should have sufficient power to intervene ex ante on the implementation of individual workout solutions);
• d) reviewing the alignment of NPE-related processes with internal policy and public guidance, most notably related to NPE classification, provisioning, write-offs, collateral valuations, forbearance and early warning mechanisms.
