A warning in the own funds and capital requirements return (COREP own funds), on template C 02.00.a, capital adequacy - risk exposure amounts.

The rule in plain words

Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S must equal these five added up:

  • Traded debt instruments
  • Equity
  • Particular approach for position risk in CIUs
  • Foreign exchange
  • Commodities

All the values are in the TREA column (0010) of C 02.00.a.

How the Line4 Check report words itShow

Word for word as the report shows it when the rule fails.

TREA: Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S = Traded debt instruments + Equity + Particular approach for position risk in CIUs + Foreign Exchange + Commodities

What to do if your filing fails it

  1. 01Open the template below and find the cells the rule reads.
  2. 02Add up the parts in your file and compare the result with the total.
  3. 03If they differ, a part is missing, a value sits in the wrong row, or the total is out of date.
  4. 04EBA allows a small rounding difference, worked out from the decimals each value is reported with.
  5. 05It runs only when your filing indicators mark C 02.00 as reported.
  6. 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

Risk exposure amount for business subject to market risk calculated by entities exclusively applying the simplified standardised approach (S must then be 2,900.

2,900Passes
3,000Fails

A file that reports 2,900 passes. One that reports 3,000 fails, by 100.

The numbers are illustrative, reported to the unit, so the rounding tolerance does not change the result.
