Section[ Principle 2: 2. Assessment of capital adequacy
749. Supervisors should review the bank’s processes to determine that:
w Target levels of capital chosen are comprehensive and relevant to the current operating environment;
w These levels are properly monitored and reviewed by senior management; and
w The composition of capital is appropriate for the nature and scale of the bank’s business.
