(3) For the purposes of determining the appropriate level of own funds on the basis of the review and evaluation carried out in accordance with Section 3 of Chapter 2 of Title 7 to the capital requirements directive, the PRA and FCA must assess whether any imposition of an additional own funds requirement in excess of the own funds requirement is necessary to capture risks to which an institution is or might be exposed, taking into account the following:

(b)the institution's arrangements, processes and mechanisms referred to in Article 74 of the capital requirements directive;
