In operational terms, ongoing supervision involves evaluating documentation, reports, annual financial statements and audit as well as inspection reports, requesting of further information and, on the basis of the data collected, assessing the supervised institutions’ current and potential risks.

The Bundesbank is responsible for the ongoing supervision of credit institutions in Germany. Through their on-site inspections, the Bundesbank's supervisors gain a deep insight into institutions' capital and liquidity adequacy.
