The rule in plain words
Own funds must equal these three added up:
- Common equity tier 1 capital
- Additional tier 1 capital
- Tier 2 capital
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
Own funds = Common equity tier 1 capital + Additional tier 1 capital + Tier 2 capital
What to do if your filing fails it
- 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
- 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong column, or the total is out of date.
- 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
- 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 06.02 as reported.
- 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

What the rule then expects
Own funds must then be 2,450.
2,450Passes
2,550Fails
A file that reports 2,450 passes. One that reports 2,550 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
