2.   When assessing the implementation of the assignment methodology as referred to in paragraph 1, competent authorities shall verify that:

the assignment to equity exposures, items representing securitisation positions and exposures identified as specialised lending exposures in accordance with Article 147(8) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 is performed by personnel who are aware of the terms and conditions and of the relevant details of the transaction that determine the identification of those exposures;

(d)

the assignment is performed using the most recent data available.

3.   For exposures to CIU, competent authorities shall verify that the institutions make every effort to assign the underlying exposures to adequate exposure classes in accordance with Article 152 of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013.
