DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "IFPR - Investment Firms Prudential Regime and ICARA (December 1, 2025)" training has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The EU Investment Firms Regulation and Directive (IFR/IFD) came into force December 2019, introducing a new prudential regime for investment firms and a material shift in the EU regulatory framework for investment firms currently authorised under MIFID.

The IFR/IFD requirements vary by firm activities and asset size, but will replace the current Capital Requirements Regulation and Directive (CRR/CRD) for most investment firms. In addition, the ICARA - Internal Capital Adequacy and Risk Assessment will replace the existing Internal Capital Adequacy and Assessment Process (ICAAP). We will be also examining the UK IFPR - Investment Fund Prudential Regime and its impact on funds in the UK.

This one-day course, taught by an expert with over 20 years of practical experience in the sector, will examine the new regime and teach you about compliance and regulatory capital requirements and their impact on firms' liquidity, prudential consolidation, risk management, and governance frameworks, as well as remuneration requirements and regulatory disclosures.
