6A firm should satisfy itself that the systems (including IT) of the UK consolidation group or the non-EEA sub-group of which it is a member are sufficiently sound to support the effective management and, where applicable, the quantification of the risks that could affect the UK consolidation group or the non-EEA sub-group, as the case may be.1414
