The rule in plain words
IRB approaches when neither own estimates of LGD nor conversion factors are used must equal these seven added up:
- Central governments and central banks
- Regional governments or local authorities
- Public sector entities
- Institutions
- Corporates - specialised lending
- Corporates - Purchased receivables
- Corporates - other
All the values are in the TREA column (0010) of C 02.00.a.
How the Line4 Check report words itShowHide
Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.
TREA: IRB approaches when neither own estimates of LGD nor Conversion Factors are used = Central governments and central banks + Regional governments or local authorities + Public sector entities + Institutions + Corporates - Specialised Lending + Corporates - Purchased receivables + Corporates - Other
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- 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.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 02.00 as reported.
- 06This is a warning. It does not stop the filing on its own, but your authority may ask you to explain it.

A worked example
The first of its checks, with simple numbers.
IRB approaches when neither own estimates of LGD nor conversion factors are used must then be 3,060.
A file that reports 3,060 passes. One that reports 3,160 fails, by 100.
The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
